I'm curious if anyone has heard about or tried the bacteria Ch. subtsugae for control of the Small Hive Beetle? I read an article in Nursery Management and Production this month that state that the bacteria is toxic to several pests including SHB. There are several references to it on the web.

Maybe we can get some control of this pest over the next several years.
