I may have to take back my advice about the slatted rack. While it does seem to work well for ventilation it also seems to give the hive beetles a place to hide. I took a hive down today all the way to the rack and there were a lot of hive beetles all in the grooves of the slatted rack. I have removed the rack and will check next week to see if that helped.
Does anyones else have this kind of problem with slatted racks?

Will now, that's a problem. Up here in the Pacific Northwest I've never seen a Hive beetle. So That's a problem I wouldn't have been able to foresee. But for those who live in areas without SHB I still suggest using slatted racks.
