pollen traps and honey production

[ron c]

Does anyone happen to know what kind of effect trapping pollen has on honey production? If so what proportional difference?....Ron

I have read it on this board numerous times. The general consensus seems to be none.

I used a sundance II pollen trap earlier this spring and it worked great, but I did not do a side by side test, so I can't say for sure if i made NO difference or just a little difference.

Certainly if there is a reduction in honey production it is very small.
