Hello Bee Listers
Has anyone experience with  using checkmite stapled to the cardboard
method for hive beetles WITH SCREENED BOTTOM BOAARDS
From my experience of seeing hive beetles on the bottom board only on
solid wood boards and not seeing any on screens bottom boards I am a
little leary of using this method on  colonies with screened bottom
boards.  Do they moove down and scrounge down at night? Would putting the
treatment on top where they ar noticed be more effective?
Any input will be welcomed.
