So that seems like alot of manual work and labor. Not only to manage the
pollen traps, but also clean and dehydrate the pollen and store it in a
freezer also has a monetary expense associated with it versus buckets of
honey that can sit in a corner not needing electricity nor a freezer to be
stored in...

So how do most sell it? By the ounce, pound,etc?

And what are the going retail prices for local non bulk sales?

I kinda see it like chicken eggs, most don't want to pay enough for it to
really cover my cost... while recouping some cost and not all is fine on a
hobby where one doesn't calculate their own labor rate, I still need to
justify my time... otherwise I won't bother and send the person down the
road. Especially on something few ask for.

But if there is a profit to be made... why not.
