Healthy Soil. Healthy Bees.
Small hive beetles can stress your bees, damage comb, and weaken colonies. We fight back with a proven, chemical-free solution—beneficial nematodes. These microscopic soil organisms actively seek out and destroy beetle larvae in the ground, stopping the next generation before it can emerge.
At Capitol Bee CARE, we’ve spent over a decade raising and applying two highly effective species—Heterorhabditis indica and Steinernema riobrave—with excellent results in our own apiaries.
