Pollen traps and grids for collecting pollen

The use of bee products for medicinal purposes has been practised since ancient times and has not lost its value or relevance. This applies to bees themselves, whose stings are used in apitherapy, to honey, which contains many beneficial natural elements, and to bee pollen, which is used in the treatment or prevention of various illnesses and in cosmetics.

To collect bee pollen, beekeepers use pollen traps.

Equipment for collecting pollen

Collecting bee pollen is one of the simplest tasks for a beekeeper. All that is needed is to fit pollen traps in the hive. They have a fairly simple design:

• a plastic plate with small round holes;
• a container (pollen collector) into which the pollen falls through the holes.

To avoid losing this valuable product, the use of a simple pollen trap design is recommended for all beekeepers. With their help, beekeepers can collect around 2-3 kg of bee pollen from one colony in a year.

Pollen traps are designed for long-term use. The material from which they are made does not harm bees and does not affect the value of the pollen product.

Beekeepers can make a pollen trap themselves. To do this, they only need to buy a grid with holes, to which a container for collecting pollen is then attached.
