This tray fills that gap. It slides into the lower rail under the screen, sealing completely so bees can't reach the oil from above. Small hive beetles and varroa mites that fall through the screen during grooming or hive activity drop into the oil and can't climb out. Check the tray weekly, strain out the debris, and the oil can be reused all season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe designed this tray ourselves specifically to fit our screened bottom boards. The fit is intentional — the tray seals against the bottom board rail so there's no gap where bees could access the pan from the sides. That redesign matters: older designs left gaps that bees could enter from the front, which created its own problems. \u003cstrong\u003eThis tray is not compatible with FBC bottom boards made in 2020 or earlier, and we can't guarantee it will fit other suppliers' bottom boards.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you're using a bottom board from another supplier, verify compatibility before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can fill the tray with vegetable oil (standard choice), diatomaceous earth, or soapy water — each works, though vegetable oil is what we use and recommend.

That's actually what makes the Beetle Blaster work — you're placing a dark, oil-filled trap exactly where beetles want to be, and then letting the bees do what they naturally do. Bees chase beetles toward the edges and corners of the hive. Beetles enter the trap looking for refuge. They can't get out.
