To help control beetles in your hive, place a small piece of Check-Mite or bait of choice in the middle of the beetle barn and close the top. Place the beetle barn on the top of frames or on the bottom board. Honeybees tend to harass hive beetles and the beetles seek refuge in small dark areas.
WARNING: Bohemia Apiary recommends only approved pesticides be used in hive beetle traps. We cannot and do not suggest the use of Fipronil, Crisco/Boric Acid Blend or any other unapproved product to kill hive beetles inside this trap.
