Despite the dearth and the presence of hive beetles, this Italian bee colony is flourishing. With full frames of brood and plenty of resources, they're demonstrating resilience and productivity. We're assessing their needs and using Swiffer pads as beetle traps to help them through. It's amazing to see them thriving in this heat!

Listen to that amazing crackle as we check this strong beehive! A Swiffer pad helps trap hive beetles, and we found a dead one – a good sign it means there aren't many others around right now. This hive is thriving!
