The other day I got a request to catch a small swarm. It was really small, a softball sized cluster of bees, which I newspaper combined with a nuc.
I was surprised to see a small hive beetle in the box I'd transferred the swarm into. I'd put in one frame of comb that was completely clean. So now I'm wondering whether small hive beetles sometimes travel along with swarms.
