SHB I have found there are several triggers that start the females 
laying, hot and humid and you disturb the hive (inspection, harvesting 
or just smoking). This action causes the bees to release the beetles 
that they are corralling then the beetles start laying eggs. The other 
triggers are that the hive is in trouble. The adult beetle does eat 
drone pupa also.

   I control SHB in the honey house with a dehumidifier set to its 
highest setting any honey left exposed turns to taffy.
