Reusable Small Hive Beetle Trap – 3D Printed with Trap Tool

Stop small hive beetles before they take over your hive.

This reusable beetle trap hangs between your frames and uses your bees' own behavior against the beetles. Bees chase small hive beetles into tight, dark spaces — the trap gives them exactly that. Beetles slip in through the cover, drop into the oil below, and can't climb back out.

The trap body is printed in clear/frosted PETG, so you can check your catch at a glance without pulling it from the hive. Every trap comes with its own trap tool.

Made by a beekeeper, tested in real hives

I've been keeping bees for years, and small hive beetles are a battle every beekeeper here in Florida knows well. I designed this trap for my own hives, and we've tested it in our bee yard before ever offering it for sale. It works amazingly well — and now I'm proud to share it with fellow beekeepers.

Features

• Reusable – empty, rinse and refill all season long
• See-through body – clear/frosted PETG lets you see how many beetles you've caught
• Sliding cover – easy to fill with oil and easy to clean out
• One open oil well – internal support ribs add strength, with an open gap underneath so oil flows freely along the whole trap; fill it from one spot and it levels out
• Trap tool included – one tool comes with every trap
• Chemical-free – works with food-grade oil, no pesticides in your hive
• Made for Langstroth hives – hangs between two frames
• Your choice of color – pick the color for the sliding cover and tool from our PETG lineup

How to use

1. Fill the trap about halfway with food-grade oil (vegetable or mineral oil). Don't overfill.
2. Slide the cover on.
3. Hang the trap between two frames in the top box, where you see beetles running.
4. Check it regularly. When it's full, empty it, rinse it and refill.
