I bought a pollen trap and plan to collect some pollen for personal 
use.  I have a few questions:

1. What are timing recommendations for using the traps?

2. Does one reduce nectar collection by installing traps during major 
honey flows and, therefore, should the traps be used when the flow 
dips?

3. What plant sources yield the most nitritious pollen?

I know trapping should interrupted every few days so colonies can 
replenish their nest pollen reserves.
