I trap a lot of pollen.  I have found that small hive beetle seem to be attracted to the pollen, which I freeze and sift.  If I harvest every other day I see no beetles.  On the third day I start seeing adult beetles and by day seven larvae to the point of massive infestation.  Not in the hive but in the pollen tray.  I am running Sundance style bottom traps.  

Has anyone done any studies on using pollen and remote traps away from hives?
