Hello

I'm a beekeeper in England and most of the bee pollen traps that are used are harmless to the bees.

Of course collecting pollen should be done carefully not only to not damage the bees but also to make sure they have enough food.

Honey has been collected for thousands of years and has great health benefits when one does collect honey I believe has to make sure not to deprive them from all of it

Yes, Izhpt, sorry to say, but that is naive.

Dr. Michael Klapper, M.D., (a vegan doctor and best selling author) advises against using honey for health reasons, because it spikes natural sugar levels of the body. Moreover, there have been documented cases of botulism from people eating honey. Of course, eating honey in its raw form increases the opportunity for botulism. Honey is, basically, regurgitated bee vomit.

Bees make enough honey for the colony and enough pollen for the new queen. They don’t go to all the trouble to give it to you.

When someone disturbs a colony to take honey or pollen it places a great amount of stress on the bees. This disorients them for a period and, in that sense, their whole order has been tampered with.

I wouldn’t dream of stealing from bees. There is no need in my opinion when you can use delicious and nutritious alternative such as fresh organic dates to sweeten recipes. You can even make a date paste if you need something of a liquid nature. Simply blend some pitted dates with a little water.
