Hello I'm located in Vidor Texas about 45 miles west of Lakes charles LA and
90 miles east of Houston. I just found four small hive beetles and frames of
larvae in my honey house. I'm hoping that someone here has had some
experience with dealing with these bugs and can give me some useful advice.
We've never given them a thought down here and were hoping they would never
get this far. I understand that checkmite is effective, but does it have to
be under something or does hanging it between frames work and is there
anything else I can do? Any advice is more than welcome.
