I have found that to keep the hives 100-300 feet from trees ,brush, and weeds, hive beetles love moist shade, i have had great success moving hives out in the open in the hot sun, the to keep the bees from getting too hot i set an old trampoline over them for shade, i use peppermint oil on my top frames, the smell drives them out, remember the odor of the hive is what attracts the beetles ...good luck

Excellent work, I just returned from Hawaii from the Big Island and worked in a queen bee production company.

Hello! One of my viewers sent me a link to this video, and I'm so glad he did. I'm glad you have an alternative paper towel for trapping small hive beetles and that it's made of natural fibers rather than plastic filaments. Very much appreciated. Thank you.

@BeekeepingMadeSimple 11 месяцев назад

You're welcome. I just saw the other comments below about the Brawny sheets and pieces of plastic getting into the honey. I've also used these which looked identical to the Brawny towels except they're a different color - www.dadant.com/catalog/bee-care/pest-control-treatments/m01545-beetle-bee-gone It says on Dadant's website that it is "all-natural and chemical free". I will contact the company that makes them. The owners are a friend of a friend. I believe they live in my town or used to.

@@BeekeepingMadeSimple Seems like shop towels you get at auto stores would work well too. Some guy used a picnic mate that he attached on the slidable sheet on the bottom. Still not sure to leave that in or take it out?

@Govstuff137 27 дней назад

I think I'm more concerned now. I don't know I'm not confident in what approach to use. Nothing seems to be really highly affective.

@leonardoribeiro7607 Месяц назад

I have important information to tell you about what I saw in the fight against this pest. A big hug and success.

Ive had hell with hive Beatles this year. Ive treated the ground in my bee yard with grub killer, and put several swifter cloths on the frames tops, finally getting them under control. Didn't have much problem until I brought in a cutout from an oak tree. I was buisy at the time and didn't care for them as I should have, they got smiled out. A few weeks later I had large numbers of Beatles in all my hives. This is the reason I used the grub killer on the ground, won't help today but will help in the months ahead. I now have a bug zapper near my bee yard to control moth numbers. It's been a wet year after 3 years of drought and bugs have gone crazy.

@BeekeepingMadeSimple 2 месяца назад

the small hive beetle will takeover a hive very fast! I'm glad the grub killer works for you. It is something I forgot to talk about because I can't use it where my bees are. My hives are on other people's properties around the island. Having a screened bottom with oil pan below has really been a lifesaver for me.

Thank you so much for sharing your bee keeping experience and which products you have used with and without success. Extremely helpful to me. Even as a 4th year bee keeper I certainly haven't seen everything and theres so much info out there. I really appreciate your insight and detailed pictures cause I may have seen things previously and not realized what I was looking at as I navigate the bee adventure.
