@fritzhvac We have a bad problem with hive beetles in sc and more southern areas. I dont know if the beetle problems extend as far north as Kentucky or not. Enjoyed your hvac videos.
At present I am using just straight vegetable oil. I had tried different combinations hoping to increase the effectiveness but couldn't tell a difference. The traps seem to work great and I am now trying to be proactive by using on all my hives even before I detect an infestation.
Thanks for the video. I am a new beekeeper, and stuff like this really helps me! So sorry about your hive - I've already become quite attached to my girls!
Glad this is helpful. most of the beekeeping books that I have seen don't really show pictures of how bad the damage from an infestation really is, so I was hoping this would help someone.
Hey Ron , do you have any clue what is happening to our bee's ?
Very interesting video !!!

What a shame. This is a bad summer for all kinds of "buggy" problems. Too much rain I think.
