Summary

Simple Under Hive Small Hive Beetle Traps. Personally I find these much more convenient that the "in hive" versions as I can change them without having to open the hive and disturb the bees. You want to route out your risers to make a slot for the traps to slide into then cut a hole in the bottom board that is slightly thinner than the distance between your two risers and git 1/7" or 1/8" hardware cloth/mesh to stop the bees falling through but still let beetles get chased down into the oil. I fill mine with apple cider vinegar and whatever the cheapest oil is from the super market.

There is a full length version if you have a large printer, a version split into 2 that should be printable on an ender3 or slightly smaller. And theres the two former versions but with mesh included in case you can't find hardware cloth.

Check the photos included to get an idea of how to install them.
