What does this do for the pollen, in my case there is often ants, bits of grass or dead bess in the pollen I collect, would a design like this deal with that?

Congratulation.

Does the baffle you put in the bottom of the box prevent the large pollen grains from blowing out?

Yes, that's right.

Sweet. Do you feed the residue back to the bees?

No, because there's not much residues. Maybe 50 g of residues per 10 kg of pollen.

Wow and you could make pollen patties from the dust, maybe a face cream too

There's some bee parts, leaves, grass etc. in there. It's not suitable for a face cream. I could make a pollen patie, but where I live there's plenty of pollen so I don't have the need for it.

can you give us some measurements for this box? height how far back the hole, etc. Thank you. Thank you also for posting this video.

There's no small hive beetle in my country, so I don't know if it could.
