SYDNEY — The first step is pouring gasoline into the beehive. Then it is time to wait. The job is finished when the hive is burned the next day.

Since last week, this cycle has been on repeat near a port in eastern Australia, part of a government effort to protect the country’s multimillion-dollar honey industry.

The global farming industry is already reeling from higher prices for fertilisers, fuel and machinery, as well as supply chain problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The Ukraine war is an additional blow. It is not easy to contain the mite, with even the New South Wales government agency in charge of the eradication effort conceding that “it is generally accepted that it is inevitable that varroa mites will eventually establish in Australia”.
