> Did you collect pollen without spliting bee legs?

I have never seen pollen traps splitting (I assume you mean "breaking off") the
legs of bees.  I have found bee legs and other parts in most bottom traps.  I
suspect that getting dead bees out of the hive requires breaking the bodies into
smaller parts which can be moved through the screen.
