I have been reading with interest for about 2 months now, and every time I was about to post someone would say just what I wanted to hear. Anyway on to my question, I have been interested in taking bee pollen and was wondering what the best way to harvest was? I read somewhere( I think here) that the pollen once stored, was better for you than pollen caught in a pollen trap( something to do with the nectar fermenting the grains and thereby cracking or breaking the grains so that our digestive system could use it.) So far I have been taking some from an old brood frame( yes with all the old brood casts and waste products, I figure more protien, but the pollen probably has enough protien) I keep it in the freezer, but it still isn't easy to harvest. Any Ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark ps. I have 10 hives located deep in the heart of Texas, in Pflugerville,near Austin.
