The Pollen Trap is perfect for palletised hives. It fits below the brood chamber.
Bees enter through the new Pollen Trap entrance, go through a screened area where the pollen falls off and is collected in the protected rear drawer below.
Close off pollen trap entrance for 3 - 4 days every week to allow the bees sufficient stores.
Pollen is approximately 40% protein and is considered one of nature’s most completely nourishing foods.
It contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. About half of its protein is in the form of free amino acids that are ready to be used directly by the body.
Pollen from Western Australia is considered among the best in the world and can sell for over $100/kg.
