I have huge issues with SHB's here in SC. I've lost more hives to SHB than overwintering, so I was in a search for solutions. I've done sugar shake's, screened bottom boards, Boric acid, Everything. So this season, I started seeing SHB's again in my hives, just a few, but this is how it starts every year until I am over whelmed. Not every hive mind you, but I see them. So what I did this year was experimented with SHB Grease (Really should be called SHB sugar).
I made up a batch and installed the grease in each hive and I haven't seen a beetle in over a month. I am hoping this is the final solution. This is a proactive approach too, making it much more appealing!
Who else has experience with SHB grease...
