BeeReady Bee Pollen Trap for Apis Mellifera for Fresh Pollen Harvesting Plastic Frame with Removable Storage Tray

• Material : Plastic

Features

• Calibrated Entrance Grid: Engineered with precise hole dimensions to gently wipe pollen from legs while allowing workers free passage.
• Hygienic Pollen Drawer: Enclosed sliding tray protects gathered pollen from dirt, hive debris, and ground moisture until harvest time.
• Food-Safe Plastic Frame: Heavy-duty, chemical-free plastic guarantees pure, uncontaminated pollen recovery.
• Tool-Free Installation: Mounts quickly onto standard Apis mellifera hive entrances.
• Low-Maintenance Design: Smooth, non-porous plastic surfaces allow for quick washing and sanitization between harvest cycles.

Applications

• Hive Entrance Mounting: Position and secure the trap directly over the main entrance of your active Apis mellifera hive before peak morning foraging starts.
• Pollen Dislodgement: Returning foragers squeeze through the calibrated grid holes, which gently wipe pollen granules off their corbiculae (pollen baskets).
• Clean Storage: Stripped pollen falls directly through the protective screen into the lower sliding collection drawer.
• Retrieval: Periodically slide out the removable storage drawer to harvest fresh pollen into clean food-grade containers or drying trays.
• Rotational Management: Periodically deactivate or remove the trap grid to allow the colony to build up sufficient pollen reserves for brood rearing.
