enough for trapping small hive beetles in up to 6 bee hives Easy to secure onto frames, while minimizing disturbance to the hive and still allowing all frames to fit in the box One piece design makes them easy to handle and fill with oil The traps have thin slots for beetles to enter and it works by trapping beetles in oil compartment and killing them quickly Safe and natural way to eliminate small hive beetles without the use of pesticides or chemicalsEASY TO USE: The clear plastic allows you to check oil levels and how many small hive beetles are caught in the trap. 1 piece design makes it simple to use and add to and remove from the hive. HOW IT WORKS: Small slots on the top of the traps allow beetles in but keeps bees out. The bees chase the beetles through the slots and into to the oil compartment. As the beetles are coated in oil, they quickly die and are trapped in the oil. TIPS AND TRICKS: These traps work best when placed in the top and bottom corners of the hive between the frame and box. 2 traps per hive is great for maintenance of beetles, but 4-6 traps per hive are helpful in knocking down a population. REUSABLE OR DISPOSABLE: The trap can be reused if desired, but would need to be rinsed out and refilled with oil. Many beekeepers find this type of trap can be disposed of at of the year and replaced each year. WORKS WITH COMMON OILS: The compartment on each trap should be filled halfway with oil. Any cooking oil, mineral oil or liquid be used in the traps. The dead beetles can be strained from the oil and the oil reused, but it is easier to replace with new. WHEN TO USE THE TRAPS: Traps can be left in the hive year around and oil will keep in traps for several months, but traps should be checked every 2-3weeks. When the oil is full of beetles, it is time to clean and refill or replace. Warm months are the season for small hive beetles, so summer is the perfect time to use them. colour:Transparent color + black Material:plastic size:225*37*35mm Package Contents: 12 x traps Only the above package content, other products are not included.
