Olive oil can kill hive beetles by suffocating them when it coats their bodies, blocking their breathing pores. When applied in sufficient quantities, the oil prevents the beetles from moving and ultimately leads to their death. Additionally, olive oil may disrupt the beetles' ability to reproduce, reducing their population over time. This method is often considered a more natural alternative to chemical pesticides in beekeeping.
