Small hive traps, enough for trapping beetles in up to 6 bee hives quickly and easily by using the bees natural tendencies to corral beetles into small places. Our traps are the industry standard and an essential part of any beekeeper's beekeeping supplies. No tools are required to install, for best results place 2 traps in between the 2 outside frames on both sides of the top box. Beetles are naturally corralled into the corners of the top box, exactly where the traps work best. Beetles are naturally forced and corralled into the traps as the beetles run away from the honey bees. As the beetles hide in the traps, they get caught in the oil and can't come out. These traps have thin slots for beetles to enter, but are too small for bees to enter. Simply fill the traps halfway with oil and as beetles enter the oil compartment they die quickly. When full, simply toss throw away the trap and replace. Hive populations increase in the summer, but the best time to use our traps in your bee hive is the spring before populations increase. During the summer when populations increase, you can place multiple traps in each box., Weight: 0.16424438519 pounds, Manufacturer: tiyao
