This is a little late, and I've been meaning to post about it for a long time. Sometimes life and work just get in the way.
An interesting finding from the USDA ARS and a new beetle trap in development. The article speaks specifically to Red Flour Beetle, but mentions that Hive Beetle is also attracted. Interesting read. I hope the efficacy proves high enough. This would be a very clean way of removing beetles from hives. I'm envisioning a small solar panel on one of these pyramids, silently killing beetles with it's LED's while recharging in the field all day.
"Among its features, the new trap is pyramid-shaped and sports slender fins that coax inquisitive beetles into a central pit where they can be captured. The trap is also fitted with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) whose colored light—set to wavelengths of 390 nanometers (nm)—attracts beetles from long distances, ensuring they get a whiff of pheromone as they approach."

Hey there,
I've noticed that there haven't been any recent posts on this blog so I'd like to enquire about purchasing this domain and continuing the blog.
I'm a bit of a bee nut myself and would like to post interesting and up to date articles on a monthly basis.
I like the domain too : )
If you could let me know how best to contact you that would be great.
Regards,
Adrian.
