How to stop Small Hive Beetles? Installing the Guardian small hive beetle entrance on all hives.

The battle between beekeepers and small hive beetles continues year after year, but this year someone invented a solution. I will be installing Guardian small hive beetle deterrent in my entrance reducers in an effort to prevent small hive beetles from getting into the hive. If I can keep the small hive beetles out of the hive I can stop using the beetle blaster and not risk spilling oil in the hive which would result in killing my bees. I learned about the Guardian small hive beetle deterrent from Michael Fike and Barnyard Bees so I thought I would give it a try.

We will check back in a few weeks to see how they have done and see if they were worth the money. If you are interested in obtaining these Guardian beetle preventers you can purchase them at Barnyard Bees. https://barnyardbees.com/

If you are considering installing a sustainable or edible landscape or becoming a beekeeper or starting beekeeping as a hobby this is the channel for you. I will show you everything I learned in my first years of beekeeping and you can learn with me as I experience and overcome the challenges I encounter in my second year and beyond. I will also feature some how-to videos because I am perpetually curious and creative and am always building something.

Thank you for visiting my channel and I really hope you like, subscribe, and ring the bell.
