Wooden Pollen Trap Collector Base – American Style | Langstroth Hive

Collect fresh pollen from your hives with this American-style pollen trap base. To use, sit your hive boxes ontop the pollen base temporaily. The forager bees pass through the trap on their way into the hive, the pollen pellets are gently scraped from their legs and fall into the collection drawer below — ready to harvest.
