BEI in Hilo has some things like hive beetle traps and such. Maybe they have added more not sure it has been a while since I was there. I was using Mann Lake online seems like their shipping was a little cheaper.
Good luck in getting into it, with the hive beetle and mites carrying deformed wing virus it it a major battle now. I managed to get the hive beetle under control but I was off island for a couple of months and came back to find my bees have a virus. So between buying cooking oil for the hive beetle traps and powder sugar to treat for mites it is really getting to be a chore.
