Human consumption pollen vs bee bread

Okay, a bit more info needed. This looks promising, GregV. Since I don't speak Russian, I wonder if you've done a video onthis. I infer that it's best to work with frozen comb since it's brittle and will break up easier. Then how do you separate the small bits of wax from the beebread?
 
I don't bother with the videos.
Freeze the combs first.
Then you can process them at your convenience (best to do outside in cold weather).
I have a queen excluder attached to a regular super box - dump the mix into it shake; the small bits will fall through but the bee bread granules will remain.
If wish to go finer, have a similar rig with 1/4" screen - repeat and separate away smaller pieces of bee bread.

It is time consuming.
But I have done this once last winter and set with my bee bread product for a year or more.
Don't you get a lot of wax particles in with the bee bread?
