I've been trying something new here and would like some feedback/ ideas from
you.
I've sprinkled DE in front of 2 of my hives in an area of about a foot
around the landing board. When the pupae fall off the landing board they
will fall into the DE and by crawing through, the DE will slice their bodies
and they will dehydrate. My DE is food grade and I like this idea better
than using a soil drench. The 2 hives I used had quite a few SHB. I will go
back in the hives around the first week in Jan. to see results.
Pros?
Cons?
Ideas?
Thanks
ED
