Anderson's work has included the discovery, naming and description of a number of honey bee pests including the mite's Tropilaelaps mercedasae and Varroa destructer. Other work to determine the causes of specific disorders in certain bee populations and the biology of invasive bee species has contributed greatly to Australian biosecurity. Anderson founded Bees Down Under in 2012 an organisation that aimed to provide information and support research on Australian Honeybees and native bees. He had previously been (Principal) Research Scientist with the CSIRO Division of Entomology (at Deniliquin and later Canberra), and Research Fellow at CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences In 2014 Anderson began work with the Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority, UAE (United Arab Emirates).

In 2007 Anderson (Leader, Bee Team, and colleagues) was awarded the CSIRO Medal for Research Achievement for raising awareness of the biosecurity threats to Australia's pollination services and to the viability of key agricultural industries.
