In the mean time it looks like it has spread all over NSW according to coloring on the map. Though still low in numbers in some locations, they unfortunately are dotted around the map.

2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

The spread will slow for the next few months - too cold for swarming.

I noticed that the Mac nuts are budding - not long and beekeepers will move hives to large orchards.
