The patties are placed directly on the top of the frames for easy access for the bees.  Unfortunately, small hive beetles are also attracted to the patties, where they can lay their eggs in a nutrient-rich, protected location between the frame and the patty. Beetle larvae in this protected space can quickly grow and spoil the patty.\u003cbr\u003eA simple option exists to minimize the SHB damage: Raise the pollen patty above the frames on a narrow grid so there is no hiding spot for the beetles and let bees patrol the patty’s whole surface. The Trivet also allows the bees to feed more freely and easily on both sides of the pollen patty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Hidden Hollow Honey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52863934103872,"sku":"bk-fe-trivet","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/7335\/3536\/files\/z-Trivet1cropped.jpg?v=1784934595","url":"https:\/\/growtime.shop\/products\/pollen-patty-trivet-beesmart","provider":"Grow Time Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
