Thank you, I was concerned as to how collecting pollen would effect the bees. This made me feel much better

[@MIgardener]

Wow how amazing. You should store some of it in the freezer for early spring brood rearing. Pollen powder is expensive and hard to find good quality. The stuff you have is free and super high quality!

[@JandjacresNet]

That would be an excellent use for it, for sure!

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

@@JandjacresNet what's the shelf life frozen for pollen please 👍🏿

I eat raw bee pollen everyday in my porridge oats 😋 thank you for the video ❤

[@Snake-snek]

I love that you let them pick which way to enter. 😊 Very nice.

[@jessicapride3513]

Me too. I buy pollen for my allergies.i just started my own hives and wondered how I can do this without harming my bees. I think I'll hold off until my hives are stronger but I'm glad to know you can harvest the pollen without harming the bees.

[@erikarodriguez3748]

I LOVE this because my big concern with pollen harvesting is taking it away from me bees because they do need it to thrive. I enjoy the benefits of pollen, but I fear most bee keepers aren't harvesting ethically.

[@larrytornetta9764]

Erika Rodriguez you can open and close the entrance so the bees collect it or just go into the hive.

[@dimatadore]

Thanks for this! I needed to know it wasn’t collected in a harmful way to the bees. Will be purchasing with a clear conscience!! 🥰

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

I have been taking a teaspoon of bee pollen disolved in water every day to successfully cure my hay fever allergies in spring time. By taking bee pollen orally you desensitize yourself to pollen and therefore eventually are not allergic to it anymore. If you never eaten bees pollen before, I suggest you start slowly with one or two granules every four hours, and gradually increase the amount of pollen.

[@inominos]

Thank you for this video! You are so kind to the bees, this is how it should be! Hope more bee keepers are like you!

[@SimonBrown]

Thanks, very interesting. Tried some bee pollen this week, wanted to know how it was collected 👍

[@JandjacresNet]

Glad I could help!

[@laurenpaterson1140]

That is very cool!! I have ordered bee pollen for my dogs and then wondered how is it collected and does it hurt the bees? I didn't want to be a part of any harming of bees. This video put my mind at ease. Thank you

[@thuffman44]

I always found pollen traps "neat",,,, but really need to bee cautious about derth and end of season stores. Honey is their carbohydrate, but pollen is their protein... leaving the trap on too long is easy way to starve a hive if not careful ... Great video ! Best of luck

[@JandjacresNet]

We will try to not be greedy.

[@ihabhatim5825]

You mean nectar, not honey… bees MAKE honey 🤨

Thank You 🤗

[@nihilisticnut9916]

Hoping one day to be blessed with my own bee hives.

[@MikeBarryBees]

Just be careful with that particular trap. I found the same thing happening, and while the bees may choose which entrance, it does not mean that enough bees will choose the non-collecting path. If you are collecting a ton of pollen without the tubes in, they still may not be getting enough. I found that placing a strip of 3/4 wood across the pollen collecting slit and forcing them through the 4 holes will ensure they collect enough for themselves. Like you, I never want to be greedy, but if they produce that much pollen without being forced into either entrance, you still might be unintentionally taking too much.

[@JandjacresNet]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Astronurd]

He is definitely taking all the pollen and his hives will suffer

if you taking all the pollen does that mean the honey will not have any ?? also when you strain the honey for bottling does that remove pollen also???....

WHATS IT TASTE LIKE?

[@lordkrishnastolemyheart5485]

Don't use it in cooking as heat renders pollen utterly useless.

I have a question. How do you control veroa mites and other infestations whille collecting pollen?

[@sharriceowens913]

Are there any Vero mites or Beatles in there?

[@butterfly101664]

To deter the beetle life cycle you can pour 1 part vinegar to 1 part salt. It will help the beetle larvae from going underground beehive and grass from growing. If you have chickens, they'll eat the larvae.

Pour it where?

[@ArjunLGunawardene]

Hi J&J, How do you store pollen? Do you have to refrigerate/freeze it immediately upon extraction? I’m in a temperate climate where humidity is high therefore the pollen has a wet feeling to it. Should I sun-dry it before bagging and freezing it? What is the shelf life for raw pollen? Appreciate your take on this.

[@JandjacresNet]

Well, I can't say if there is a better way or not, but all we do is dump it in zip-top bags and freeze it.

[@renegade2171]

Should it smell like dead rats? I bought sum and thats wt it smells like and its strong

Ara those real frogs? You haven’t said anything about them. You must have been very familiar with them. Thanks for the video.

How did the bees go to this man-made hive ? Lol . Just curious what can make them go release the pollen there instead of the hive. I really love to know more about this. Tks in advance. ♥️ 🐝🐝

[@soham5374]

They kidnap the queen bee and put her into the man made hive, the workers simply follow the pheromone trails left by the queen

[@ATappin]

@@soham5374 or you make a new queen bee and add bees

[@PANTTERA1959]

I saw no bees on the ramped hive. Did the Queen transfers not work?

[@JandjacresNet]

I worked fine, but in this video there aren't really any foragers in that hive - so just nobody out and about.

[@wildharvesthoney]

How do you clean it to get out debris? Do you have to dehydrate it? Or can you sell raw pollen? Thank you so much. There is not a lot of information out there on what to do after you have collected it.

[@JandjacresNet]

Oh? I had no idea they ate it!

[@Astronurd]

It looks like you’re still collecting all the pollen even with the tubes off and the bees are not getting any. When not collecting the drawer should be more or less empty

[@batistuta_fr]

красавчег!

[@Saint696Anger]

Would this effect you negatively if you have spring allergies? Is this also in raw honey?

[@jessicapride3513]

It will help reduce allergies

[@kathyhathaway8823]

Yes there is some pollen in raw honey but it depends on the bee keeper to what screening each bee keepers use . But yes if the honey you purchase says on it RAW it should have at least some pollen in it.

[@JaTon]

What can you use the bee pollen for?

[@JandjacresNet]

There are a bunch of supposed health benefits.

[@Snake-snek]

where I come from its traditionally used to boost your immune system, you just do a cure and take it as if it were a multivitamin. Just eat teaspoon full

[@Irishcloth]

So just to expand on the last comment. When it comes to allergies and why we have them, that's a million dollar question. My personal theiry based on research over the years is a weak immune system. There are studies that connect both ingesting bee pollen and honey (from your area) helps to build your immune system and makes allergies lesser or in some cases, non- existant. So family don't have any oroblems with allergies but my husband has intense seasonal allergies. We just started eating a teaspoon of honey a day. We shall see the benefits! I'll say though, it's the easiest medicine to get a kid lol. :)

[@marihasites7706]

Hi my brother I need help I’m sick I have leaky gut syndrome from a antibiotic for my tooth I found doing reach that pollen will help cure me I will pay good for ur help just a small amount of pollen if u can find some I don’t buy nothing from the stores it’s all fake if u can’t help me plz let me know

[@wendy54321]

What do you do with pollen?

[@JandjacresNet]

I put it in the freezer until I figure out what I'm going to do with it - LOL

[@wendy54321]

What can you do with it . I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff so I hope you don't mind the question.

[@JandjacresNet]

Basically you eat it on one of a million ways for purported health benefits.

[@wendy54321]

Okay..

[@jennabader7283]

You can use it in a drink like hot tea or smoothie

[@larrytornetta9764]

I collect it every day. It will get ants or get moldy.

[@noidretlaw]

So do the bees that lose their pollen sacks get scolded by the hive worker bees? Maybe they will develop all kinds of inferiority complexes and anxiety?

Bee pollen doesn't freeze; it's a great way to store excess amounts. Just don't heat bee pollen, that'll "cook out" all the nutrients.
