BeeSmart Pollen Patty Trivet

This Trivet Pollen Patty Holder raises the patty above the frames on an open grid, eliminating hidden spaces where beetles lay eggs and allowing bees to patrol and feed from all sides.

By giving worker bees access to both the top and bottom of the pollen patty, the Trivet improves feeding efficiency while helping reduce small hive beetle pressure—without chemicals. Ideal for early-season feeding and spring brood buildup.

Features & Benefits:

• Holds ½ of a standard pollen patty
• Approx. 4” x 6” raised open-grid design
• Allows bees to feed from both sides of the patty
• Prevents beetles from hiding beneath the feed
• Supports pesticide-free IPM beetle control
• Perfect for spring buildup and brood rearing
• Works with feeding shims on 8-frame, 10-frame, and nuc hives
• Pairs well with small hive beetle traps for added protection

A simple, effective tool to keep pollen feeding productive—and pests in check.
