Pollen patties are an excellent alternative when natural pollen is not available or for boosting brood rearing.
However, small hive beetles are also attracted to these patties, often laying eggs in the protected space between the patty and the frame, leading to spoilage by beetle larvae.
This Trivet from BeeSmart Designs offers a straightforward solution to this problem by raising the pollen patty above the frames on a narrow grid.
This setup eliminates hiding spots for beetles and allows bees to patrol the entire surface of the patty, ensuring it remains fresh and accessible.
