Description

This is Cpt Crunch, a Small Hive Beetle trap to install on top of your frames in a beehive. After seeing a company selling a product called Beetle Crusher, I decided to make my own version. Place the trap on top of a frame, leaving a little bit of space so beetles can get under it, but not the bees. Beetles love to hide in small spaces where the bees can't get to them. All you have to do is smash down on the trap every so often to kill the beetles. Do NOT leave these traps for a longer period of time or you will be helping the beetles! When printing, make sure to print it standing up on the short end, or the legs will easily break off. I've printed some in PLA, but it works better in PETG due to low melting temperature of PLA. Also advised to print in some light color so you can see the beetles better. Due to frames coming in all kinds of different sizes, you may have to scale it up/down to fit your frames. I have not optimized the printer settings, so this comes with just the default settings.
