Aloha: Greeting from Hawaii! The queen season has finally slowed. The Hawaiian weather cooperated this year tomake this our best queen season ever. Sufficient rainfall at the right time kept the feed bill low and the drone populations high. We are still catching and selling queens and will continue through November. Now that I have some time to work on my own personal hives, I am hoping someone can help me gain some knowledge concerning pollen collection. Currently I have a small pollen buisiness (75-100 lbs per week from 40 hives). I sell most of it to local beekeepers to feed back to their bees. We also sell to local health food stores for human consumption. The health food store will pay four times as much as the beekeepers. Of course the pollen has to be very, very clean and this is where my questions comes. I am currently using a seed cleaner to clean the pollen. This does a good job removing anything bigger or smaller than the pollen grains. Anything the same size and relative weight isn't removed. I am wondering what the large commercial pollen producers use to clean pollen. I have heard the words gravity table used. Does anyone out there know what this might be? Are they expensive? Any help would be appreciated. Fresh-frozen pollen is selling for $12.75 per pound here, and I am only limited by the speed at which I can clean it. The math ($12.75 X 100 lbs per week) is pretty impressive and would make a great second income! Thanks for any help! Aloha, Mark document1
