Need help with SHB

[downhome]

Just brought in a new nuc and found a SHB left in the bottom. I transferred old frames into my new nuc box at original site. We don't have them here yet and I don't want them, if I can help it.

So here is what I am thinking"
1) Squish any I see when I go back out
2) put one of those traps in the hive.
3) remove all old frames and BURN or FREEZE

Is that crazy or overkill....please I need lots of input and suggestions. ALL are welcome.

Of course - kill them if you see them.

Other than that I would not worry much in your area.

Here in FL with the long warm and humid summers, they can get to be a real problem, but I don't think they'll be big problem for you there in Kansas.

This assumes you've done everything else right - like keeping hives in full sun so they stay very dry etc.
