although I must say that some of them still can not get anything, and I attribute that the material is broken and I have not blocked the alternative entrance to the hive. I only took a week collecting pollen and hopefully go on until June, leaving them to rest only for the duration of the crop of orange blossom. Again thank you very much you've uploaded this wonderful video.
I am very grateful to you for publishing this video, since I saw him a year ago, I found the task of making at least 30 of these, now I have only been 14, but I'm very happy because they do work, and work very well, and the amount of pollen they collect every day achievement reaches 150 grams in the crowded hives, and 50 to 75 grams in regular hives,
I'm getting ready to buils 20 of these, my #5 and #8 wire rolls are in transit. The thing is, I couldn't find any #7 wire. Will the pollen fall through the #8? How has your worked out for you?
OK, so just mount it on the top box, put a shimmed top board over it? The bees come in the top entrance and crawl down through. I think I got it. Looks good. I'll try it with a couple this year.
Willie, So I will try a description of how it works. If that is not enough I can add another video.
First of all there is a lid over the top of this trap. It is a piece of plywood the dimensions of the pollen trap (13 7/8 by 19 7/8 for my eight frame box and 16 1/4 by 19 7/8 for a standard 10 frame box). The plywood two wedges attached on the underside so that one short side is held up 3/8" - 1/2" above the box -- sorts of sloping back to the other short side like a shedroof
@magprob (cont'd) The bees enter the short side and walk across the wide end of the plywood you see in the trap video. The bees have to wiggle through the #5 mesh screen (stapled to both sides of the plywood). In that process, one of the pollen baskets is stripped off. After wiggling through, the bee walks back across the #8 screen to the 3" gap and then on down into the hive. The pollen stripped off falls through the #8 screen into the drawer below. The drawer has a window screen bottom.
@magprob (cont'd) The bottom of the trap also has #8 screen so that the bees can not get into the area where the drawer is located and thus into the pollen. Pollen is removed daily for several days. Then stopped for a few days in case it is stripping to much pollen off and impacting the feeding of the hive. Hope this helps. Jim
You sound like the guy that get pushed into the basement. on office space

Nice video, I plan to start collecting pollen myself this year. Feel free to check out my beekeeping channel.

Took me awhile to realize this video has nothing to do with making hash.
