Intersting. Had some rain here this morning ands an hour to kill. Looked
up some research in SHB.... this one is a must read. Funny thing the
conclusions and work here and by Ellis match exactly what I am seeing and
said. At certain thresholds they do take over. They do lay in capped
cells, and they defiantly do better in wet soils.
The only thing I have not seen mentioned again is the AHB attacking SHB
larva, which I am not seeing in AM. But that could be that certain hives
do and some don't if they were being removed and carried away I would not
see that in observation. What I do note is that on bottom boards ( I use
mostly top entrances) the bees will constantly attack adult beetles, but I
have yet to see a Larva attacked. Even when both are present in mass.
Does anyone know if Termador would work on SHB Larva??
