Sell Pollen?
« on: October 07, 2019, 01:22:11 pm »
I am wondering if pollen is desired and sought after in your area?
2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Yes Sir, Mr. Phil, pollen is well sought after, by about 100,000 foragers in my backyard.  Har har har
I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

If you run a farm stand somewhere it's worth having some on the table just for a conversation starter even if you don't sell much.  I try to have enough in my freezer to feed my hives to handle a failed fall flow.

Are you looking at your frames to see when it?s time to STOP STEALING their food? Or do they carry cardboard signs?
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Then all else falls in line
It?s up to me

The Sundance trap lets half of the pollen through.  If they need more pollen they recruit more pollen gatherers.
