Beehives in southeast Australia were on lockdown Monday as authorities raced to prevent the spread of a potentially devastating parasite plague.
The Varroa Mite was detected at the Port of Newcastle, prompting authorities in New South Wales to throw up a strict biosecurity zone.
Australia is said to be the only major honey-producing country where the Varroa Mite isn't endemic.
