RE: Double E Blessed Bee Farm... The Beginnings
I was not aware of these small hive beetles. We will have to get a spot picked. What would be considered a good spot? We have open areas, wooded areas and a pond.
Great question!
First off, ask around and see if SHB are a problem in your area. Most likely they are. They like dark, damp, mulchy spots.
Put hives in the sun or a spot that gets partial sun.
Put their front door in a spot where their flight paths don't intersect with usual human walking paths.
If your in a colder climate, face the front door (bee entrance) south so they can benefit from the suns warmth on those cold days.
That's great info. From what I see online they are in our area. I think I may know of a good spot for them. I will keep you updated!
