What happens here
Select the box-type pollen trap and position it flush against the front of the beehive entrance. Use a cordless drill to secure the pollen trap in place with screws. The trap should fit snugly, ensuring bees can only enter and exit through its designated grate. The trap has a sliding mechanism to open or close the pollen collection grate, directing bees either through the collection area or allowing free passage.
Goal: Securely attach the pollen trap to the beehive.
