The Small Hive Beetle Problem

The Small Hive Beetle (Aethina tumida) is a destructive pest that can cause significant damage to bee colonies. These beetles:

  • Lay eggs in beehives, leading to larvae that consume honey, pollen, and brood
  • Cause fermentation and spoilage of stored honey
  • Can lead to colony collapse if left unchecked
  • Are particularly problematic in warm, humid climates
  • Can quickly infest multiple hives in an apiary

Once established, Small Hive Beetle infestations are difficult to control and can result in significant economic losses for beekeepers. Early prevention is key to protecting your hives.
