Small Hive Beetle Treatment

BEEKEEPERSTIPS.COM

The small hive beetle or Aethenia tumida is an opportunistic pest that can bring both destruction, and a few benefits, to your apiary.

The small hive beetle is a pest of African bees – it is found throughout Africa and parasitizes brood.

What Is The Small Hive Beetle?

1.Origin

The small hive beetle, or Aethina tumida, has a lifecycle which if you understand it, can allow you to control the pest.

2.Egg-laying In The Hive

After 10 days to two weeks, the larvae are around half an inch long. I have watched bees carry these larvae out of the hive – the bees seem to struggle to kill the larvae.

3. Pupation

Hive beetles are opportunistic pests. If you allow them to get into brood and pollen that is not in a hive, they will multiply in this and then return to harass hives.
