Beetle Barn Hive Beetle Trap Features: - Clamshell design for easy loading. - Easy Open & Close. - Heavy duty plastic for long lasting durability. - Beetles can get in, but bees can’t. Use: 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 chase the hive beetles and the beetles seek refuge in small dark areas. Note: The bees have a tendency to propolize the openings of the traps. They should be checked every two weeks and any propolis removed. Also, dead beetles can be removed from the trap at this time.
