By applying a small amount of canola oil (or similar) the trap forms a great trap for Small Hive Beetle, Varroa Mite and Wax Moth
The removeable tray that faciliates instant monitoring of hive health.
A clever base which can be used with Apimaye Supers (Full Depth and Manley)
In corportates all the features of the full Apimaye vented base - entrance closure, pollen trap, pest/varroa tray
Great for utilising spare 10-Frame supers not in use
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 of sunflower oil and insert between the outer-most frames is best because the SHB tends to try to attack the colony and its stores at the periphery.

Beetle can get in but bees can’t.
Non-lethal to your bees, the Beewise Varroa Check CO2 is the perfect solution to accurately test and measure varroa levels.
When used with a CO2 cartridge the bees and mites are anesthetised and a quick shake causes the now sleeping mites to fall through the mesh for easy counting.
Once awake, the anesthetised bees can be returned to the hive!
The Beewise Varroa Checker achieves up to 80% efficiency in detecting varroa mite with a single isopropanol or ethanol wash.
While it may also be used for a sugar shake test, experience in NSW has clearly shown that the isopropanol - ethanol routes are more effective.
Quick and easy to use
Beekeepers simply collect 300 bees and roll them for 2 minutes in the Beewise varroa Checker Sugar Shaker with icing sugar. This encourages bee grooming and dislodges the varroa (if present) for detection.
- Designed for effectiveness in monitoring varroa levels
- Quick and easy to use – can be done on all your hives
- Easily transportable and built to last
