| 1 | Pollen trap is a wooden structure with perforated plastic pollen load detaching screen, which is attached at the front of the brood chamber of Langstroth 10 bee-frame hive (Type C hive) after removing wooden gate block of the hive. The two wooden extension rods, one on each side of the trap, are inserted into the hive through the space created after removing the gate block. | |
| 2 | Because of high nutritional value of the pollen, it is in high demand in several countries where it is used for health and therapeutic reasons. Thus, this is another hive product which if collected by beekeepers, can increase their apiary income through the sale of this product. Pollen traps of various designs are being used in several countries as separable attachment with Langstroth hives hiving Apis mellifera Linnaeus colonies for collecting bee corbicular pollen before it is taken inside the colony, as an additional hive product. | |
| 3 | This Indian Standard is developed in order to provide guidance to pollen trap manufacturers and other concerned stakeholders regarding various requirements of a good quality pollen trap. Conformance to this standard will ensure the improvement in quality of pollen traps as well help in retain the quality of pollen collected using the trap, which in turn will help beekeepers to gather additional income. | |
| 4 | This standard prescribes the material, design and dimensions requirements along with use of pollen trap for collecting corbicular pollen load from Italian race of western honey bee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus bees, entering their Langstroth hive i.e. Type C hive. | |
