Erratum

The photograph of a “swarm” in the January 2026 and August 2025 President’s reports was sourced from an image library where it was labeled as a bee swarm. In all likelihood, this photo is not an Apis mellifera swarm. The most probable candidate is an Apis cerana (Asian honey bee) swarm. There is an established population of Apis cerana in far North Queensland. Apis cerana is a notifiable pest throughout all the Eastern states

Thank you to everyone who helped to clarify and correct that photographic detail.
