Foxhound Reusable Small Hive Beetle Trap

Small hive beetles hide from bees in tight, dark spaces — this trap gives them exactly that, then keeps them there. Half-filled with food-grade oil and hung between two frames in the top box or super, the trap works with the bees' own behavior: as bees chase beetles away, the beetles run for cover and end up in the oil instead of getting away.

Key Features

• Chemical-free — uses food-grade oil instead of synthetic pesticide treatments
• Reusable — empty, rinse, and refill for repeated use across a full season
• Easy installation — hangs between two frames in the top box or super
• Works with bee behavior — bees naturally chase beetles into tight spaces, which is exactly where the trap sits
• Removable top — makes filling with oil and cleaning out beetles simple and mess-free

How to Use It

Fill the trap about halfway with food-grade oil and seal it, then hang it between two frames in the top box. Beetles running from bees dive in to hide and drown in the oil. Check periodically, and when it's full or the oil needs refreshing, empty it, rinse it clean, and refill.
