 "Cuthbertson et al (2013) mention the widespread use of
 Apithor (with fipronil) inside hives in Australia and
 elsewhere to control small hive beetle.  I suspect that
 French beekeepers may soon be making an about-turn on
 fipronil."
 
People put all manner of toxic substances in hives to kill the beetles; boric acid is another common one. It isn’t that it’s not toxic to bees,  just that they figure it’s in a trap where the bees cannot access it.
