Qualirey Small Hive Beetle Traps 50-Pack — Black Plastic Beetle Blasters for Beehives, Easy Oil/Lime Baiting

Qualirey Small Hive Beetle Trap is a pack of 50 durable plastic beetle blasters sized to fit beehive frames and help reduce small hive beetle populations with simple oil or lime baiting.

Protecting colonies from small pests is an essential part of beekeeping. These Qualirey beetle traps are molded from sturdy black plastic and designed to sit unobtrusively inside or near the hive where small hive beetles travel. Supplied in bulk (50 pieces), they suit backyard keepers, hobbyists managing a few hives, and commercial operations that need a ready supply of easy-to-deploy traps.

How do I set up a Qualirey beetle trap in my hive?

Setup is straightforward and requires no special tools. Add a shallow layer of mineral oil, vegetable oil, or slaked lime to the trap’s interior, place the trap in a recommended hive location, and check regularly to replace bait and remove captured beetles.

• Fill with mineral oil, vegetable oil, or slaked lime — just a thin layer is needed.
• Position at top and/or bottom corners of the hive where beetles travel.
• Inspect during routine hive checks and refresh bait every few weeks.
• Remove and dispose of trapped beetles safely according to local guidelines.

Will these traps disturb my bees or hive operations?

No. The traps are sized and shaped to capture small hive beetles while minimizing interference with worker bees and brood. Their black, low-profile design blends with hive equipment so you can keep them in place during normal inspections without disrupting colony activity.

• Compact dimensions sit near frames without blocking bee movement.
• Low-contrast black color reduces visibility to bees and predators.
• Easy to remove and replace during routine maintenance.
• Works passively — no chemicals sprayed into the colony.

What makes this 50-piece pack a good value for beekeepers?

Buying traps in bulk ensures you have spares on hand for all your hives and for seasonal turnover. Whether you rotate traps between hives, deploy extras around vulnerable colonies, or supply multiple apiary locations, the quantity keeps costs and downtime low.

• Pack of 50 covers many hives or long-term replacement needs.
• Durable plastic construction stands up to regular handling and weather.
• Uniform size and shape simplify storage and standardized placement.
• Single purchase avoids frequent reorders and shipping delays.

How should I maintain the traps for best performance?

Routine inspection and simple bait refreshes keep traps effective. Remove solids and old bait, replace with fresh oil or lime, and verify the trap remains securely positioned; frequent checks during warm months help catch beetles before populations grow.

• Check traps during regular hive inspections, at least every 1–3 weeks.
• Clean or replace bait when it becomes filled with debris or insects.
• Store unused traps in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve shape.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets as advised on packaging.
