The small hive beetle is really a nemesis for a lot of us here in the south of the U.S.. I would really like to see some development of traps that work outside the hive to trap the beetles outside the hive where we beekeepers would not have to disturb the hive to handle the traps. Granted, the SHB mostly works on the weaker hives, but when making splits and queen mating nucs, they are really a problem.
