I learned almost exactly a year ago that the then favorite Commercial
Beekeeper SHB control method of choice is a cockroach bait with duct tape
around the access holes so that only a SHB can get in.  1-2 per hive, slid
in the front entrance on the bottom board.

As the bees chase the SHB, they enter the trap/bait.

I know that the Commercial guys have to make a living, and that the SHB is
a terrible pest, but for this to be a widespread practice throughout the
southern US and Calif. and for queens and packaged bees to be produced on
comb from such hives is just too much...

But I don't have any 'solutions' to offer.
