Hi everyone, I am new to the site. Are there any videos that shows how pollen is collected? If yes, please post a link.

By the bees or by the beekeepers?

You have to use a very very small vac  to collect the pollen off the flowers and not crush them.

I've collected quite a bit of pollen in the past...only I collect it from the bees...the bees collect it from the flowers.
