@SowthEfrikan i had not heard this, here is South Carolina SHB are a pretty much a way of life, you do what you can to control them with traps but they are just going to be there. I have been told a good thing to do is use a drench on the ground under a hive as that is where a lot of eggs fall and hatch the following season so i might give that a try next winter.
