Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Broccoli contains glucosinolates, phytochemicals which break down to compounds called indoles and isothiocyanates (such as sulphoraphane). Broccoli also contains the carotenoid, lutein. Broccoli is an excellent source of the vitamins K, C, and A, as well as folate and fiber. Broccoli is a very good source of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and the vitamins B6 and E.

Pollen Trap Sundance Bottom

This is something new to me. Just like anything else in beekeeping, there is only so much you can read before you just have to give it a whirl! I am very excited about this one. I’ve put it off for a long time, just trying to focus more on understanding the bees, and learning to work with them more effectively.

But it’s time to step it up a notch and see what else I can do. This pollen trap is a pretty cool little bolt on feature, and has a built in bypass, so if you want to stop collecting pollen you just drop the board. You don’t have to tear everything down to physically remove the trap.

Make sure you’re getting the right one. There are two versions of the Sundance trap, one for top mount and one for bottom mount. Get the one that fits where your bees are used to entering the hive. Some places refer to them as Sundance I and Sundance II but I couldn’t find that to be consistent, and some places didn’t label them I or II at all. So make sure you know you are getting the right one, even if that means you have to call the manufacturer!.

Anyway, like I said, I am very excited to give this a shot. From the reading and research I did, these Sundance traps seem to be a favorite among beekeepers. I hope I experience the same feeling!

I bought this trap from Betterbee. I searched around and prices vary, but so do shipping costs, so it was mostly a wash in the end where I bought it.
