Foxhound Reusable Small Hive Beetle Trap

These reusable small hive beetle traps help control beetles inside the hive without introducing harsh chemicals. Hung between two frames, each trap uses food-grade oil to capture adult beetles as they hide from the bees—preventing them from escaping, reproducing, and laying eggs inside the colony.

Key Features and Benefits

• Chemical-free control: Uses food-grade oil instead of synthetic treatments.

• Reusable and refillable: Clean, refill, and use again season after season.

• Easy installation: Hangs between two frames in the top box or super.

• Bee-driven trapping: Leverages bees’ natural behavior of chasing beetles into tight spaces.

• Reduces beetle stress: Helps limit beetle reproduction and hive disturbance.

Detailed Description

Each trap is designed to be half-filled with food-grade oil and sealed before placing it in the hive. When installed between frames, small hive beetles seek refuge inside the trap as bees chase them—leading to quick and effective capture.

To reuse, simply empty the trap, rinse it clean, and refill with fresh oil. This makes the traps an economical, sustainable option for backyard beekeepers who want to support their colonies without relying on chemical treatments.

Our traps provide a natural and organic way to reduce small hive beetle pressure and help protect your colony’s stored honey, pollen, and brood.
