  The last I heard, Australian bees weren't affected as of yet and it's where N. American and European bee keepers have been replenishing their lost stocks from.

    I'm glad that at least one continent is safe so far.

    Australian Honey Bees Threatened?
    Four swarms of Asian bees found in Cairns, Australiahave been cleared of carrying the dreaded Varroa destructor mite but the intruders themselves could pose the beginning of a serious threat to Australian honey bee populations.
    Asian bees are known to have found their way into Australian ports at least half a dozen times in the last decade.
    This time it's a Javanese strain of the bee and because the latest incursion had lain undiscovered for at least three months, it is unknown how many more swarms might exist and how far afield they may have flown.

    The Aussies are trying to keep out Asian bees but it's extremely difficult
