Last night I spent a fun couple of hours listening and participating in a podcast featuring Jerry Freeman's small hive beetle trap. I've used it on my hives and have been impressed. As I said on the podcast, his trap captures a lot of beetles at once and in that way is very effective.
If you'd like to listen to the podcast in its entirety, here it is.
On the WildlifePro network, there is a scheduled once a month beekeeping podcast. I'll go back - it was fun and informative. People could call in and talk or join in "chat" mode and submit questions for Jerry (and occasionally ---- me!!) that way.
I had thought a lot about all the ways I've tried to combat the small hive beetle and decided to try writing an Ehow article to separate my thoughts on each of the traps I've used. You can read it here.
Such a pest the SHB is. I delight every time I kill one and my usual response to ending the life of any creature is not delight!
