So if I collect on a regular basis instead of twice a month, they'll get used to it? I still think they're squeezing purposely into the basket to try to recover the pollen, so I don't understand how this will help. They are not trying to recover it. for some reason once dropped its gone to them,,,, no 5 second rule or anything, try a screen bottom board and see for your self. Yes leave the traps on normaly stuck bees were trying to come up under and behind the traps. I had thought pollen trapping would create problems, But Lloyd spears pointed out that if you trap contiously the bees will adjust their foraging behavior quickly and its not a problem. From a year or twos observations I would say that's correct. For me I don't trap at all until after the honey flows are done.
