  • Pollen Shovel

    $6.10

    This handy pollen shovel easily scoops up your pollen harvest for collection or storage until the bees need it.  The two flat sides enable you to get right into the corners.  Lightweight, easy to use tool.

  • Pollen Trap

    $13.00

    The pollen trap is an easy, economical way to harvest pollen. Pollen can then be fed to bees when natural sources of pollen are scarce.

    You can also collect pollen to sell as a sideline.  Pollen must be frozen or dried to ensure it doesn’t go mouldy.

    Always ensure your bees have enough for their own needs before harvesting.  It is advisable to leave the pollen trap on your hives for a 2 weeks on/2 weeks off rotation allowing the bees to collect sufficient stocks for the hive.  Springtime is generally the best time for this as the bees collect far more than they need during this period.
