Perhaps the thinnest work in the manufacture of colors from clay - the modeling of the stamens with pollen.
I use three ways to make pollen:
1.
The most expensive and long - get to the store Fleur groups and buy or order them with delivery.
2.
Make pollen from the mankey.
3.
Collect the real pollen in the flowering season.
Each of these methods have pros and cons.
The first:
(+) You can buy pollen of any color and a lot;
(-) We must pay, wait or go.
Second:
(+) - can be added to pollen any color and in any quantity,
(-) It is rather not a minus, but the little minus: pollen gets a large-scale size with a semolina grain, although it can be missed in a mortar to the smallest fraction.
Third:
(+) real pollen, it turns out very similar;
(-) Little, you can only collect in the flowering season, poorly stored, and if allergies, this method of "manufacturing" pollen does not fit at all.

From one freshly directed Narcissus, it turns out to collect pollen for a pair of elbow colors. For this tip of fine sausages from floral clay to dip in glue and pollen daffidase.
How to make pollen for stamens do it yourself from making
Photo 2.
Very very very simple:
Mix the semire with alcohol or vodka in which (s) is pre-divorced the gouache of the desired color. Quickly mix and decompose the thin layer on plastic or oil to dry. If the grooves of the Manka stick up, stretch them with their hands, pre-put between two layers of tight paper.
In the photo at the top of the bonded grains, but down the glands of a small separate grapes and yellow dust. If all this is separated, then you can get at least 3 types of "pollen" of different sizes.

Stamens are made as well as with a real or purchased pollen: rolling sausages, tip thick lubricate glue, dip in pollen and envy.

Further, from sausages, a little longer than the length of the pestle, will add 5-6 stamens and proceed to the modeling of petals. (How the petals for Narcissa were pulled)

And for this used real pollen, taken from the prototype.
To ensure long-term storage of pollen, it must be carefully dryed. Mandatory condition - there should be no moisture in it, since pollen will be cooked. The use of dustless pollen is prohibited. Otherwise, serious poisoning and other health complications may develop. A mold containing toxic elements may appear in crude pollen.
To prevent such situations, it is important to dry pollen well. In this case, a special dryer will help, which can be made it with your own hands.
Cons Road dryers
Some beekeepers refuse to apply pollen dryer. They take clean paper, onto its surfaces lay the pollen very thin layer. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the layer does not exceed two centimeters.
Using this method, it is important to choose the room properly. It is impossible to allow sunlight penetration, as the product can be spoiled. Paper must be sterile. Otherwise, dust particles penetrate into pollen, and it will become unsuitable.
The temperature indoors should be stable. With increasing or sharp decrease in temperature, mold appears, or humidity increases. This technique has many minuses, so it is preferable to build a special dryer. This design is not necessarily acquired in the store. Using a small set of tools and material, you can make it with your own hands. Thanks to this device, the necessary temperature support is carried out, and there is also the ability to process a huge amount of products.
Pluses of electric hammer
The electric dryer is considered one of the best options among such an apiary equipment. It has some advantages:
- it can be made from any material;
- equipment capacity - 300-1000 watments;
- the volume of the design is designed for 3, 5, as well as 10 kilograms;
- this electric dryer is universal, so it is used not only for pollen, but also for a variety of vegetables, fruits, berries, as well as seeds;
- the principle of operation is similar to heaters, since all air goes downwards, which ensures high-quality and efficient drying of products;
- as for the industrial network, it is 220 volts.
Homemade design for drying
Describe a dryer designed for pollen, you can, with your own hands, following recommendations. Use sweater tools so as not to waste extra money:
- it is useful to the locker small sizes;
- it can be equipped with a heater or fan;
- to improve ventilation, drill a small hole.
You can make the dryer, guided by the following principles of actions:
- you will need a hull from under the hive, which is installed in a thermal fan;
- to prevent the occurrence of mold in products, pollen is decayed with a thin layer;
- special grid is stretched along the bottom;
- then you need to construct several small boxes to set drying in the chamber (each other);
- creating a drying chamber occurs as follows: 2 housings are connected, and then equipped with tin canines;
- so that the boxes can be launched, you need to navigate special rails;
- next, you need to collect a deaf cover, with the help of foil to climb it up to create additional insulation.
As you can see, create this device with your own hands simple enough.
Design Sadochok
This equipment is universal, has many advantages:
- the process of drying the highest quality;
- the device is light by weight;
- safe, durable and reliable design having a double level of protection;
- careful drying of products;
- simple use;
- the minimum time for drying is 60 minutes, and the maximum is about thirty hours;
- work is carried out from the network, there is high electricity consumption.
Any apiary requires good equipment. To avoid unnecessary cash costs, you can create most of the entire inventory personally. You may also beat an article about creating an article.
In this article, I will tell you about how and where the bees collect pollen, how the beekeeper takes her from the bee and what makes the pollen go on sale.
How and where is the bees collect pollen?
Pollen is men's genital cells of plants. It consists of the smallest pollen grain. Bees collect it for their own needs and to feed their children. For these insects, pollen is the only protein feed.
Most of all the pollen of the bees are collected in the spring in the morning. The pollen of the bees are collected from flowers of plants and trees. When the bee landed on the flower, then pollen from it, as if sticking to the bee, this is due to the fact that pollen is charged with a positive charge, and the bee negative charge. 
Bee's legs crushes his sticking pollen and rolls it into lumps, which fixes on the rear legs in the special "baskets". To pollen did not scatter the bee wets its nectar. Arriving on its legs, pollen lumps (rangs) is important that they have the same weight and size, otherwise it will be inconvenient to fly.
Arriving home, the bee does not always go to the hive immediately. If pollen is wet, for example, from a dandelion, then the bee is before entering the hive, stops and, as it were, resting on the sun, ventifies pollen lips on the hind legs.
How does the beekeeper collect pollen?
To pick up pollen from the bee, the beekeeper buys or manufactures special dust collectors. They consist of a lattice and a box for collecting pollen. Drappes are hung before entering the hive.
Round holes are made in the grille of the pollen, passing through which the bees are forced to bend the rear legs so that pollen flies with them. This pollen bee fleeing from the legs falls into a special box of which it later takes the beekeeper.
Pollen beekeeper can collect not every day. If, for example, the bees in the morning gathered pollen, and then went rain, then everything that attacked the box will wet and turn into "porridge". Such pollen is no longer suitable. Therefore, days in which a beekeeper can collect pollen not so much. During the cells, the pollen is also not collected, since, passing through the cells of the dust collector, the bees crowd at the entrance to the hive and interfere with each other, thereby reducing nectar's brought in the hive. 
After the beekeeper gathered pollen, he needs to be saved. In pollen, a lot of moisture and therefore it can mold and spoil. There are several ways to keep pollen. It can be frozen in the freezer, with minus 18 degrees Celsius. Also, pollen, you can put on honey, mixing it with it in proportion from 1 to 1 to 1 to 3. Most often, pollen dried. Here also have its subtleties.
Drank pollen in the sun can not. The drying temperature must be lower than + 40 degrees Celsius. If these conditions are not respected, then useful substances in pollen will die and it will not be sense.
At your apiary, I dry pollen in a special dryer for vegetables. I smell it with a thin layer for gauze or tulle, installing the drying temperature + 35-38 degrees Celsius and leave one day. When the pollen dried, she becomes hard and her lumps are not destroyed when they take them in hand. In this form of pollen can be stored for quite a long time. But it must be removed into the tightly closing dishes and put in a dark place.
The pollen collected and dried by a beekeeper is faced into glass and plasma dishes with a dense lid, then you can buy pollen in Moscow, Penza, St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia.
Interesting is the fact that if pollen collected one bee, then in order for her to collect only 100 grams. It was necessary to make 6,000 departures and spend 130 days for it!
