Hive Beetles

Small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida Murray, Order Coleoptera (beetles), is a member of the Family Nitidulidae which contains a number of

similar beetles native to Australia. This scavenger of honey bee colonies which originated from sub- Saharan Africa, was first identified in Australia in

October, 2002. When identified, the SHB was well entrenched in feral and managed honey bee colonies, preventing any eradication attempt

Hive Beetles are a pest and can destroy a Beehive if not controlled

It is Common for Beehives to have Beetles, it would be difficult to totally eradicate them but they are controllable

Beetle Traps help to control Hive Beetles, they sit in between the frames and the Bees herd the Beetles to the trap

The traps are Filled with Cooking oil, or diatomaceous earth food grade

It is good to have one trap per Beehive

Mesh Beetle Base for Beehives are Good to help control Hive Beetles but will work out Expensive if you have a lot of Beehives
