SMALL HIVE BEETLE Problem Solutions, Honeybee Beehive Corrections to prevent Small Hive Beetle Larva Destruction

NEWSFLASH To the naive Beekeepers

IF YOU WAIT UNTIL LARVA STAGE To Late

I continue to get horror stories of Beekeepers seeing a few Small Hive Beetles
but not being concerned immediately.

TRAPS AND BAIT ONLY KILL ADULTS

Adults are the stage you must control BEFORE they lay THOUSANDS of eggs.

The Larva stage are the ones that tunnel through the combs in search of pollen.

The Adult stage is just annoying to the Honeybees no real damage done. 

2,3,or even 4 traps per Beehive is sometimes NOT enough.

YOU MUST CONTROL ADULTS BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND

ALL Southern States Year Round Control Needed.


Some Other Prevention Help:

FULL SUN Best 

NO Splits Mid August till Mid September, 2 worst months

Screened Bottom Boards, Light and less hiding places

No extra Honey Supers On, Super Just In Time

Concrete or Black Tar Paper under hives, Hot and Dry

Kill all Vegetation near Hives to Lower Humidity

Avoid ALL Plastic Frames with Holes for hiding places

Use ALL DEEP Honey Supers To Prevent Extra Burr Comb Hiding Places

TRAP PRAY Repeat

The Honey Bees chase the Beetles away from center brood nest pollen 
so they tend to hang around outside frames.
