Looking good! I had to cut out some comb in one frame, the bees build it out too far to one side, it had pollen in it an honey, some of it I ate!.......man sooo.....good! I was thinking to put a pollen trap in one day, but haven't had the heart yet to steel it from them. Here another pic the girl at work. Konrad

Don´t worry with the pollen trap. A good one only harvest the 20%, so the bees have enough food. On the other hand, you can alternate opening and closing the trap. My bees are very happy -I think- and they are giving me honey of every colour, now in spring.
