Thank you for all the info. It is one of the best videos I have see showing what the small hive beetle larva look like. Do not worry about Wilma making muffins. It is not diturbing.

@sneakyam frames, when you gently remove the mat, you can see how many beetle there are. I think the bees propolise the beetle in. It's when you lift the lid & find beetle running everywhere, you've got problems, it could be too late. I've lately discovered where the beetle got started on some drone comb but the bees were strong enough to overwhelm them & clean it up before the beetle took over, which was encouraging. I think the main thing is to keep the hives strong. anyway, take care, cheers.

@sneakyam Hi there, thanks for the question. I place a vinyl mat on top of the frames, leaving a space all round. It's just a piece of an offcut from a carpet shop.

The mat stops the bees building comb from the frames to the top of the lid, they can build comb between the top of the lid & the mat, that's so much easier than when the bees build comb from the frames to the lid.

@bigcity1974 Thank you for that, you've inspired me to do this video again, without my wife working in the background. SORRY, but getting to the point takes a while, I need to be understood. There's so much valuable information in that 8 minutes, which really would only be of interest to a beekeeper that's concerned about small hive beetle in their hives. I see you keep bees, one day you might find some of this information really handy & worth enduring my annoying talk. thanks again cheers.

Thank you for a very informative post. I enjoyed it a lot. I dont have any bees but with some dedicated planting I have gone from no bees in the garden to many and appreciate learning what they go through. Maybe one day I will have a hive.
