Does anyone know if Small Hive Beetles move from location to location at night?

Ben,
The day I build my first screen top board, I didn?t finish it until just before sundown. I placed it on one of the 2 hives I had then. We were talking and looking at the bees through the screen and a SHB landed  on it, I killed it. Then another one landed and I kept killing them and killed around 100 of them by the time it got too dark to see them any more.
They definitely fly to the hive at night.
