Has anyone heard about using peppermint candy in the hive to control SHBs?  Any opinions on the subject?

I have not cao. Tell us more. (How and why it works, how much to use etc.). I am always interested in learning of methods to help control the Small Hive Beetle...

Seems as though you have to reapply every week due to bees eating it.

Rast have you tried the peppermint 'candy' treatment?
