A lot of pollen is mixed to honey when honey is uncapped by automatic

knifes. There is always some pollen cells on frames going to extracting and

also pollen in cells is cut with cappings. If cappings are mixed to honey

like thery are mixed when honey is going to separator or wax screw the

pollen addition is more.



Our worker looking for pollen origin can easily say when these methods are

used in extracting. She says there is 10 to  30+ times more pollen. Would

be interesting to see some measurements about this, but we have not done

it.
