How to harvest and process bee pollen for consumption and sale at farmers markets

- Larry Kemmerly from the Indiana State Beekeepers Association (ISBA) speaks to Southeast Indiana Beekeepers about collecting and processing pollen for consumption and sale at farmers markets. Larry collects and sells about 50 lbs of pollen per year. While Larry's methods are by no means the defacto, we asked him to explain how he does it, and he did in great detail. He also showed and described various types of pollen traps and answered our questions. Theories on pollen benefits include helping skin, cardio-vascular functions, prostate, allergy relief, and more. If you are interested in collecting pollen from your hives, watch the entire 45-minute presentation. A lot is covered. Larry graciously volunteered to make the drive out to us and there were 60mph winds (and snow flurries) outside that night. So our group passed the hat to pay for his gas and efforts.

This guy put together a great presentation.
Is he a professional speaker? No.
He traps pollen and sells it. He made it very clear that he doesn't feed it back to his bees.
Alot of the complaints in the comments about him not knowing his subject are uncalled for. He was asked alot of questions about feeding back to the bees. He doesn't do this.
He did a great job answering some questions that should not have been asked.
Best bee pollen collection device information video on youtube. Thank You Very Much.
The way to determine moisture content would be to weigh it before and after drying.
First you'd want to test some by drying it completely hard and do it a few times through the year and take an average. That way you know the total average moisture content of pollen.
Or, you could note the weight vs volume of commercial pollen on the shelves from other producers and use to compare your own, until you have proper figures for your own process.
Thanks. How to harvest pollen which already stored in the combs cells.
Hi Thank you for posting this video I'm from New Zealand and it answered most of the questions that I was wanting to know about pollen production.
Where we shell bee pollen?
The 12-20-12 SIBA meeting. Larry Kemmerly from the ISBA came and discussed harvesting and processing bee pollen for consumption and sale at farmers markets. Enjoy.
Thank's for the video.
15-20$ for a pound and dried... no wonder they buy all pollen thats super cheap.
The George Lucas of bee keeping.
This is something I don't like about many beekeeping presenters 15:03 just admit you don't know what to do and move on stop trying to make it up as you go it's not helpful stick with what you know and admit when you don't. stop faking it.he knows plenty and no harm in admitting when you don't.
The guy doesn't know what he's talking about. He can't answer questions with specifics.
Let's take this for what it is. This is a local bee club meeting, and Larry was asked to come in and talk about pollen, and trapping. He does not say he's any authority on this. He was only asked to come in and tell us what he knows. He drove pretty far, and didn't charge us a thing. We need more people like this in the world.
I'm going DIVA
I just posted a similar comment guys should not try to answer topics they don't know he knows plenty, just needed to stop answering in areas he's uninformed about. I bet he can deliver a fedex package just fine
My main concern to the pollen traps, there made so the workers slip threw and drop the pollen off there legs, RIGHT? The problem is with them the drones and the queen can not get in and out of the hives,Thats the problem! If the queen is on a cleaning or matting flight and put the the trap on, She trapped out side and will die or fine another place to live
I think that the biggest problem as well, Every one thinks the queen stays into the hive all the time and its NOT TRUE! She will get out of the hive at less 2 or 3 times a day! I can tell when the queen is out of the hive most of the drones are out and works are flying around the hive and she wont fly to far from her brood and hive
right, but if you put a pollen trap on your hive, you should be aware of the status of the hive before hand; that they have enough stores to not make a negative impact, that they aren't in the process of making new queens, etc.
Queens don't leave the hive for hygiene flight
you are completely full of crap with your story about queens going out several times a day soooo much b. s. wow
@@correacarlosroberto1 finally an intelligent comment you're right
