    I have sundance pollen traps like you do. I have screen bottom boards though. I had a bunch of dead bees under the pollen traps between the screen and trap. I think screen bottoms confuse them while pollen traps are on. What is your experience on that?

    Good question. We use solid bottom boards, so we haven't seen that firsthand, but can see why the bees would be confused. They want to go up through the pollen trap, and then into the hive, but the open air through the screen might confuse them about where to go.
