Sorry you struggle so much with your bees. It can be very frustrating sometimes, with all the challenges beekeepers have to deal with. We don't have SMB up here in Canada, and I am very grateful. Keep up the fight, I am certain you will have success soon.
Thank you, Ian. Really do appreciate it. Others find a way. I think I'm on the right path, stumbling as I go. Nice not having SHB up there. I'm figuring out how to treat for everything else. Not really a treatment for them. Just good practices and equipment choices I'm starting to realize.
Thank you, Tracy. I do think I made the problem worse earlier in the year. There are a few external traps and guards I plan on trying in the spring as well. Nice Channel! I didn't get a chance for view any of your videos yet. Just scrolling and should get some time tomorrow. How many hives do you keep?
I think prsctice makes perfect.i think you will get a handle on it soon.question do you have any chickens?i use the same bettle traps you use plus my hens lol.
No. No chickens. My brother used to keep 20 to 30 at a time. They freaked my wife out for some reason. He had neighbors that would feed Japanese beetles to theirs. They seem too big for these hive traps though.
SHB's do that no fun, sorry you are going through that.
Thank you for that. I think I just need to add so many traps and Swiffer sheets that I crowd out the beetles. Might make a dent.?.
