The Honey Paw Langstroth Hive Pollen Trap is a highly effective and practical accessory designed to help you harvest clean, high-quality pollen while maintaining a healthy, well-functioning hive.
Specifically designed for use with the Honey Paw Langstroth hive floor with ventilation board, this integrated pollen trap replaces the standard ventilation insert—allowing you to collect pollen without disrupting the natural behaviour of your bees. As bees return to the hive, they pass through a specially designed grid that gently removes pollen from their legs, which then falls into a collection drawer below.
Positioned beneath the brood chamber, the pollen is kept protected from rain and external conditions, ensuring it remains clean and easy to collect. The rear-access drawer allows for quick, convenient removal, making daily harvesting simple and efficient.
Importantly, the design maintains proper hive ventilation and does not interfere with the hive entrance, so your bees can continue to move freely and naturally. Unlike some external pollen traps, this integrated system is designed to minimise disturbance and avoid negatively impacting colony behaviour, including swarming.
Durable, lightweight, and easy to use, the Honey Paw Pollen Trap is an excellent addition for beekeepers looking to diversify their hive products or monitor pollen intake. Whether you’re harvesting pollen for sale, personal use, or simply gaining deeper insight into your colony’s foraging activity, this clever, integrated system makes it easy to do so without compromising hive performance.
