Andy Nachbar's lengthy comments disparaging pollen collection
I found interesting. I started collecting it in 1982 (1982) and
am still doing it and sell it from my front door in a one pound
glass queenline jar that holds seven ounces--$7.00. There are
no farms around here within a five mile radius--so I don't have
to worry about noxious sprays, insecticides and what not.
 People buy it
as a high protein
food or to fight allergies.  I've been running seven traps for
years. In fact, I'm in the processing of installing them again
right now (temperature here today, in the Baltimore metro area,
hit 60 degrees F.)
I can only say: "Suum cuique."
