The disposable Beetle Bomb is designed to trap & control populations of Small Hive Beetle (Aethina tumida).
The traps are inserted between the outer frames of the top box.
Fill with approximately 25mL canola or sunflower oil.
Insert between the outer-most frames as the SHB tends to try to attack the colony and its stores at the periphery.

The Best Bottom Board for your 10-Frame Wood Hive, the Apimaye Type-G bottom boards are designed specifically for the Australian market to be compatible with 10-Frame wooden hives be they Full Depth, WSP, Manley or Ideal.
Just like bottom boards for the famous Apimaye Hive, these Type-G bottom boards are multifunction being equipped with a Pest Drawer so Varroa, SHB and Wax Moth/Grubs that fall through the base on to the Pest Drawer are stuck in the drawer and cannot return to the hive when the Pest Tray is used with a sticky mat or is coated with a light film of canola oil.
All our bottom boards can be used safely in all climate conditions. The unique grill design enables ventilation in extremely hot weather, while helping remove moisture from the bee hive at the very cold temperatures. Balancing the moisture inside the hive results in maturing the honey sooner, thus increasing the hive productivity.
As the bottom boards are equipped with a bottom a drawer, you can have a better understanding of your hive through checking the drawer.
The pollen traps on the bottom boards are specially designed to prevent bee injuries while collecting the pollen. A built in pollen tray enables collecting the pollen hygienically.
The bee hive entrance holes can be opened or closed very easily. The entrance can also be width-adjusted based on the climate.
The air channels built into the board prevents bee losses during transportation.
The boards are built tough against impacts and are durable.
They are easy to clean,
And they are compatible with your hive!
