Honeybees in Australia collect spores of myrtle rust, an invasive fungus that kills eucalyptus and other trees. The rust spores are nutritionally equivalent to pollen, but they survive inside hives for over a week, so commercial transport of hives may foster the spread of the rust.

Interesting article on #MyrtleRust and an example of an introduced pest threatening Australian trees in the eastern states... so far. #CitizenScience observations using iNaturalist or #NatureMapr can help track its spread.

Bellingen's Tuckers Nob Forest remnant vegetation to be clear-felled
Dr Tim Cadman documents remnant vegetation and rainforest trees that might soon be eliminated by the NSW Forest Corporation. Giant fossil fuel machinery will cause destruction and might bring pathogens (Myrtle rust) from other areas. In the so called 'plantation' area lantana is thriving. Koalas and other wildlife will be robbed of their habitat. Reality and State Forestry maps seem to have nothing to do with each other.
