A second Florida beeyard was used to study the spatial distribution of trap catch, and to determine the effect of shade and distance from bee colonies on numbers captured.

Its attractiveness was tested by trapping at 2 beeyards in north-central Florida and 7 in Pennsylvania, all with previous histories of SHB infestation.

Three groups of 6 baited and 6 control traps were placed in one of the Florida beeyards. In 2 of the groups, the traps were suspended 1 m above the ground on T-shaped metal poles, with a baited trap on 1 arm and a control trap on the other (about 1 m apart).

Seven beeyards in Pennsylvania, each in a different county, were used to compare baited and control traps.
