Title: sundance pollen trap
Post by: rober on July 31, 2021, 02:26:50 pm

i was just loaned a hive top mounted sundance pollen trap. my plan was to clone it. however there are some stainless steel cones near the entrance that i'm guessing are bee escapes that i'm not sure how to fabricate easily. ANYWAY-is anyone using 1 of these & how did you set up an upper entrance?

rober, I found this article by Rusty Burlew.  I have read a lot of her writings and she is very knowledgeable.  https://www.honeybeesuite.com/using-a-top-mounted-pollen-trap/ (https://www.honeybeesuite.com/using-a-top-mounted-pollen-trap/)
