Asian honey bees (Apis cerana) were detected in 2007 in the Cairns area of Queensland. Eradication was attempted but the bees became established and have since been found in Cairns, at Mareeba and Lake Eacham, and as far south as Innisfail. Most Asian honey bee detections have been in the city and port areas of Cairns, and immediately to the south of Cairns in the Gordonvale and Aloomba districts. There are no populations of Asian honey bee outside of this area, and all new detected incursions of Asian honey bee into Australia are being eliminated.
