Future Offerings from the Haselmaier Company
Hey everybody!
As you have seen from the last post, the trip to EAS 2013 was productive and very interesting. By all accounts, the conference was an overwhelming success.
One impression I got from talking to everyone was that they would be interested if we could offer a pre-assembled solution that covered all bases and maximized protection from the small hive beetle. This combination would include a name-brand bottom board with screen, a lower oil trap, the Beetle Baffle, a trap for the interior of the hive, and a plastic bottle for tending the interior trap. Additionally, we would include a booklet detailing best beekeeping practices with regard to keeping beetles out.
What we imagine is a solution that is completely assembled and ready to go as soon as you open the box it comes in. You would't have to worry about installation--just set the hive body on top, and you have the full spectrum of protection from the small hive beetle.
So, tell us what you think. Would you be interested in such a package? Is there anything else you'd like to see? E-mail us and let us know. We're here to serve you, so let us know how.
Check back soon for more details about EAS, and check the store for our newly-offered Beetle Baffle with Spacer. See you soon!

Hello from the Webmaster
It's been a bustling last few days for Haynes. I talked with him earlier this afternoon, and he had a lot of good and interesting things to say about EAS 2013. Many people showed interest in the Beetle Baffle as well as in other small hive beetle mitigation techniques. Check back soon for a post detailing what he discovered and what developments will come out of it.
Speaking of EAS, if you attended and had your picture taken with Haynes, check out the Photos page of the website--you might see your own smiling face there. And even if you didn't make it to Philadelphia last week, we'd love to have any photos of your Beetle Baffles in use. If you don't mind our putting them on the website, send them here. As always, thanks for reading, and we'd love to hear from you.

A Visit to Heartwood and Updates to the Website
Earlier this week, I went up to visit with Larry Glass and the fine folks at Heartwood Lumber located just off Hwy. 49 in Star, Mississippi next to the First Baptist Church. I picked up a beautiful copper hive top, a couple of Freeman traps, and some other odds and ends. It's really an amazing place, and you've never seen such an assortment of good looking birdhouses and bat houses. That certainly won't be my last trip up there.
Our website has evolved with some new pics and our Installation Instructions document. You're sure to learn a lot about the Beetle Baffle as you browse. Stay tuned for updates on my upcoming visits to the Tangi-Tammington Beekeeping Association and the Eastern Apiculture Society.

New Installation Instructions Video
We've been quiet for the last few days, but we've been hard at work. Our Installation Instructions Video is available on the Product Info page (and is on YouTube, as well). While this video will be invaluable to anyone installing the Beetle Baffle, it also paints a clear picture of what it does for anyone with questions. Come and see!

More Pics and a Speaking Engagement
Today was a big day for us (and for the website). A bunch of new pics went up, we are now set up for direct selling in addition to the great vendors Country Rubes and Rossman Apiaries.
Also, it looks like I (Haynes) will be speaking at the Tangi-Tammington Beekeeping Association's August 1 meeting at 7 p.m. regarding Small Hive Beetles and mitigation techniques. We're certainly grateful for the opportunity.
Keep checking out the website, and let us know if you have any questions or if there's anything else you'd like to see. Happy beekeeping!
