OK, I have two VERY strong hives. I also have Freeman traps on the bottom. I am catching no adult beetles but the oil tray has many beetle larva in it. Is this the normal deal? Beetles lay eggs, they hatch and the larva end up in the try but do not reproduce?
FWIW I have 3 new hives from package bees and those freeman traps have no larva at all so these are born of beetles that overwintered in the hives in my opinion.
