Weβre a small family business at CAP Products Australia, working with LYSON Beekeeping Supplies to bring this critical varroa treatment into the country for Australian beekeepers. Instead of being in hives doing its job, itβs still sitting at Port Botany.
Weβve invested our time, money and hearts into getting this product here because we know how many beekeeping families and pollinationβreliant farms are depending on it.
Every day of delay puts more colonies at risk and keeps an essential, proven varroa treatment out of the hands of the beekeepers who need it most.
Andrew and Katie at Bathurst Honey Co. are one of many businesses waiting β behind them are hundreds more beekeepers, growers and regional communities who will feel the impact if this treatment doesnβt get released in time.

From one small business to many others in our industry: weβve done everything we can to get this treatment here. Now it needs to be released so it can do what it was designed to do β support beekeepers in managing varroa.
EDIT : UPDATE - I JUST GOT WORD IT HAS CLEARED CUSTOMS! Thank you to everyone that shared this or commented.

Right now, a critical varroa treatment is sitting at Port Botany β stuck.
We are running out of time.
This doesnβt just impact beekeepersβ¦ it impacts our bees, our crops, and our food supply.
For some, this is one of the last effective treatment options as resistance to others is already emerging.
