Wooden Pollen Trap - Fits Both 8 Frame And 10 Frame Hives.
Collect pollen at the entrance with a trap built to last. Made from premium select-grade pine, this wooden entrance trap fits both 8- and 10-frame hives and combs pollen from returning foragers into an easy-access tray.
Features
- Fits both 8-frame and 10-frame hives
- Includes a gap filler for 10-frame use
- Efficient pull-out collection tray
- Premium select-grade pine for durability
- Edge hooks for simple attachment
- Designed to last for years
How it works
- Hook the trap over your hive entrance.
- Foragers pass through narrow openings that gently strip pollen pellets from their legs.
- Pellets drop into the collection tray below.
- On a 10-frame hive, fit the included gap filler on either side (or close off the extra opening) so all traffic routes through the screen.
Before you order
- One trap fits both sizes: the 8-frame body works on a 10-frame hive using the included gap filler. (We no longer produce a separate 10-frame trap.)
- Trap intermittently so the colony keeps enough pollen for brood rearing.
- Harvest often in humid weather to keep pollen dry.

FAQ
Will the 8-frame trap really work on my 10-frame hive? Yes — install the included gap filler on either side, or close off the extra opening so foragers funnel through the screen.
Does it hurt the bees? No — the openings only comb loose pollen from their legs as they pass through.
How often should I empty the tray? Every day or two during a strong flow, and more often in humid weather.
