ABSTRACT:
A combination pollen trap and containment apparatus for attachment to a bee hive having a frame attachable at the opening of the hive. The frame defines a pathway through which the bees must pass to gain entrance to the hive. A pollen collection screen is detachably securable in the pathway and bees entering and leaving the hive are forced to pass through the screen causing pollen pellets to be loosened from the body and legs of the bee. The screen can be easily removed when it is desired to open the hive. A pollen drawer is located below the pollen screen and serves to collect the pollen falls from the bees. A containment screen is also securable in the pathway to retain the bees within the hive. The containment screen has openings to provide for ventilation and permit the beekeeper to feed the bees during periods of confinement.
