All this discussion makes me wonder, isn't pollen present in the honey in the uncapped cells? If not, where is all of the pollen in extracted honey coming from? It isn't coming from pollen cells. Not in the extractions I have been involved in. The percentage of combs extracted which have pollen cells in them, cells usually adjacent to brood cells, is nil. From my experience anyway.
