Small hive beetle

Small hive beetle (Aethina tumida) is a small, dark-colored beetle that lives in beehives. Several pesticides are currently used against the small hive beetle. The chemical is commonly applied inside the corrugations of a piece of cardboard. Standard corrugations are large enough that a small hive beetle will enter the cardboard through the end but small enough that honey bees can not enter (and thus are kept away from the pesticide).
