Sundance Pollen Trap - Collect High-Quality Bee Pollen

The gold standard in bottom-mounted pollen collection. The Sundance trap mounts beneath your hive and pulls remarkably clean pollen with little debris — and lets you harvest without ever opening the colony.

Features

• Bottom-mount design for clean, debris-free pollen
• Rear-access collection drawer — harvest without disturbing the bees
• Switches “on” and “off” without removing the trap
• Bypass lets some pollen through so brood stays fed
• Integrated Luan cover shields the catch from hive debris
• Built-in airflow keeps collected pollen dry
• Ships fully assembled; fits 10-frame equipment

How it works

1. Mount the Sundance beneath your hive body (it arrives assembled).
2. Switch the trap “on” to route foragers through the stripping screen.
3. Pollen drops into the rear drawer, away from hive debris, with airflow keeping it dry.
4. Slide out the drawer to harvest; switch “off” between collections so the colony keeps enough pollen.

Before you order

• Sized for 10-frame equipment.
• It's a substantial trap (ships ~15 lbs) — heavier and pricier than entrance traps, but the cleanest catch available.
• Collect frequently in humid weather to prevent mold.

FAQ

Why choose the Sundance over an entrance trap? Bottom mounting yields noticeably cleaner pollen with far less debris, and you can harvest without opening the hive.

Can I leave it on all season? Switch it off periodically so the colony retains enough pollen for brood rearing.

Does it come assembled? Yes — it ships fully assembled and ready to mount.
