NEW PRODUCT! We are offering the first batch at 50% off of what the price will normally be, to encourage beekeepers concerned about small hive beetle to give the product a try in their apiaries. Please let us know your feedback!

Note: The small hive beetle is new to BC, and we are limiting sales of our first batch to BC beekeepers, to help promote early detection. In the future, we will open up sales across Canada. 

** We are requesting customers please buy only what they need for now. Please do not buy to hold long-term, and let other customers take advantage of the chance to try this product out for the first time. **

SIMPLE

Insert one or more Beetle Bee-Gone sheets in your colony where hive beetles congregate. Your bees will chew the sheets and turn them into ‘fuzzy’ hive beetle traps. Once hive beetles make contact with the “fuzzed up” sheets, they become ensnared and die.

EFFECTIVE
For full strength Langstroth hives, use one to two sheets per brood chamber. For top bar hives, use one to two sheets per 10 combs.

PREVENTATIVE
Place Beetle Bee-Gone sheets wherever you find hive beetles or wherever they are most likely to lurk, depending upon the season. In cooler weather, beetles prefer the interior or areas immediately above of the brood cluster, or under the cover. In warmer weather, beetles move down to avoid the heat. Place your Beetle Bee-Gone sheets accordingly.

REPEAT
When you next work your hive, remove the “fuzzy” used sheets—along with trapped hive beetles, and insert new sheets.

Package holds 48 sheets.
