I'm intrigued by the availability of Superboost, kind of reminds me of the benefits of Bovine Somatotropin in dairy cows.  
   
  However, if you read the Jan 08 issue of American Bee Journal, page 44 of an excellent article on the Small Hive Beetle, the author cites the addition of beetle lures to increase the efficiency of beetle traps, among which is "brood pheromone."
   
  Is this the same stuff as Superboost?  Are we moving into a product that has a tremendous benefit to beekeepers but also a dark underbelly that it may attract SHBs?  Or can we use Superboost in our SHB traps?
   
  Thanks,
