What happens here
The presenter, wearing a full beekeeper suit, introduces two types of pollen traps. The first type is a simple grated entrance that bees must pass through, dislodging pollen. The second type is a box-like structure that attaches to the hive entrance, with a removable drawer to collect pollen. He explains that nectar provides carbohydrates and pollen provides protein for the bees.
Goal: Understand the different types of pollen traps and their function.
