Exporting honeycomb
Tasmania is the only State in Australia where Braula coeca exists. It is a wingless fly which has developed a commensal relationship with the European honey bee Apis mellifera. Braula larvae create branching tunnels through the comb honey, reducing its value.
The document below describes the protocol for the treatment of comb honey for human consumption for export from Tasmania to mainland Australia, and includes a declaration form for exporters.
