Apithor Hive Beetle Harbourage
Apithor is the simple and successful way to save your hives from the damaging effects of the small hive beetle. This single use, disposable device controls the beetles, without harming you, your bees or your honey.
Hive Beetle Traps & Bottom Boards
With 2 new beetle traps and customised bottom boards, we can arm you with the best defenses to give you the upper hand against this unwanted pest, in a safe and natural way that is both safe for your bees, and unobtrusive to the functioning of the hive.
The Silver Bullet
Both of our SHB traps sit within the hive, between the frames, suitable for both 8 and 10 frame boxes.
The Standard Trap (pictured top) can sit in any box without a hive mat.
The hive mat trap (pictured bottom) has raised indentations on it so the beetle can still access the trap holes even with a hive mat sitting directly on top.
Mesh Bottom Board
The stainless steel mesh bottom board has a sliding wooden tray and you can have the entrance either on the top or the bottom of the rim.
