The NFF Horticulture Council and the Australian Honeybee Industry Council (AHBIC) will host a public webinar on 5 August 2026 to help growers prepare for the changing pollination landscape following the spread of varroa mite across Australia's eastern states.

The session will provide practical advice from apiarists and industry experts on the spread of varroa, securing hives and pollination services, managing pollination costs, and on-farm actions growers can take to support hive health and pollination security. The webinar is relevant to all growers who rely on bee pollination, including fruit, nut and berry producers.
