Beetle Blaster Trap for the Small Hive Beetle (Aethina Tumida)

ANEL’s Insect Traps fight efficiently, economically and safely, pest insects on crops or at your home. Without poisons or glues. ANEL’s Insect Traps were first used successfully in mass combating pest insects in organic and non-organic crops. They cause physical drowning to the insects that capture so the use of insecticides is not required. Baits required are inexpensive, safe and some of them you can even prepare them yourself. They are made of highly durable recycled material and can be reused for many years. The traps meet all the EU standards for organic agricultural production (2092/91). TIP: For small yellow wasps orange juice is a good bait.

They simultaneously solve two problems: - Elevate the hive from the ground level, facilitating the beekeeper’s work. - Provide protection from crawling bugs, as they cannot enter the hive. You can also add repellant fluid (like petrol) or adhesive (like oil or grease) in the special tray. Any creature trying to cross Vrahipus will be trapped in place. The Hive Legs Vrahipus are designed to snap together; thus, you can add as many as necessary, to adjust the desired height. PROTECT YOUR HIVES FROM AETHINA TUMIDA ! The legs can be perfectly combined with bee pollen collection set ref. AN57100 or other entrance pollen collector, to protect your collected pollen from unwanted “visitors”. - TIP: To fasten the Hive Legs Vrahipus on an ANEL bottom board, you must first unscrew the bottom board bases (feet) and then snap Vrahipus in place. The bases snap very easily on the bottom of the Vrahipus feet. - TIP: To fasten them on wooden bottom boards or brood chambers, use screws that are 1cm longer compared to the wood. You will need 4 screws for each leg.

Wax foundation with cells of 6mm diameter that will produce only drones. Using this kind of foundation in the brood chamber will guarantee producing drones. This is very helpful if you breed queens through artificial insemination or if you want to establish Varroa control as Varroa prefers drone cells. In this case, when the frame is complete and the cells are capped, you remove the frame from the hive.
