LED SOLAR POWERED WASP, HORNET AND SMALL HIVE BEETLE TRAP
This useful tool in your beekeeping arsenal is a great defence against the common Wasp, Hornets and Small Hive Beetles (SHB) that a beekeeper might encounter near their beehive. This double entry trap is powered by a solar panel located on top which charges a rechargeable battery supply. This eliminates an ultra-violet (UV) light during the night attracting insects into the trap. This trap goes further where a lure can be added within the trap to attract insects such as wasps, hornets and the dreaded SHB during the day.
