How to Install the Pollen Trap

Pollen Trap Installation Instructions:

1. Ensure bees have returned to the hive before installation to avoid disorientation caused by the new trap.
2. Remove the rubber bands from the pollen trap.
3. Flip the side panels (wings) backward.
4. Align the pegs on the filter with the holes at the center of each side wing and snap them into place.
5. Attach the nozzle to one end of the trap.
6. Slide the top panel into place to serve as the ceiling for the trap.
7. Test the nozzle by rotating the filter 90 degrees forward, then back 90 degrees.
8. Locate the hooks that will secure the pollen trap and drill them into the hive box.
9. Align the ridges on the pollen trap’s roof with the hooks, ensuring a snug fit so the trap hangs securely in front of the hive entrance.
10. Once the hooks are installed, any of our brand’s pollen traps can be easily attached or removed without additional drilling.
11. Leave the filter parallel to the ground for 5-7 days to allow bees to easily enter and exit, helping them adjust to the trap.
12. After 5-7 days, rotate the nozzle to close the filter, allowing the bees to pass through the designed holes. You can now begin harvesting pollen.
