ABSTRACT:
A pollen trap for a beehive is disclosed. The trap includes an open frame which contains a pollen stripper for a conventional beehive. Mounted in the frame are two screens, having two meshes that are fine enough to dislodge granules of pollen from the bees as they crawl through. The pollen drops down through a bee-tight screen into a removable pollen basket. The invention provides an all-enveloping bee-tight tunnel or sheath for the pollen basket, the sides of the tunnel being spaced from the side walls of the frame to provide bee-access space. This construction permits the pollen basket area to occupy virtually all the area of the hive to promote good ventilation to dry neater and pollen.
