{"product_id":"cutts-beetle-blaster-hive-beetle-trap","title":"Cutt's Beetle Blaster Type Hive Beetle Trap","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cutt's Beetle Blaster type trap is a disposable hive beetle trap that uses the bees' own behavior to catch small hive beetles. You fill the channels with trap oil and slide it between the top bars; bees chase the beetles, the beetles drop into the oil, and you pull the full trap and throw it away.
