Beetle Jail Baitable

This product does exactly what it says: it is a beetle jail that holds bait! It is placed in the hive, and can be reused. The inner bait compartment has a separate lid so the beetle cannot get to the bait, but they can smell the bait through vent slots. A variety of baits may be used: pollen, fruits, even live beetles -- beetles love to huddle up with other beetles. This trap is made from durable polypropylene, is top-shelf dishwasher safe and will give years of service.

The traps may be placed anywhere in the hive. If there is a high concentration of bees, during summer increase, the beetles will typically be pushed to the extremities of the hive, top and bottom corners. Traps on the outside frames against the hive body are generally most effective. In winter the beetles will stay as close to the cluster as the bees will allow, so the traps may be more effective in the center area of the hive.
