Small Hive Beetle IPM

Post by ski »

Found this link on another forum.
Small Hive Beetle IPM By Dr. Hood.
http://www.clemson.edu/psapublishing/Pa ... /EB160.pdf

I have only scanned this but looks like its some good basic information.

I have heard Dr. Hood speak at a couple of State Beekeeper meetings, he was comparing the "Hood" beetle trap (hmm interesting name)to some other beetle traps. Just seemed a bit too commercial for a researcher. He has also done research into hive beetle attractants. With that said he is the only researcher that I am aware of that has done any research on SHB in the last several years.
Just some thoughts.
