Are there ways of using a pollen trap when you have loads of drones in your hives?

Struggle to find good pollen frames to use when grafting (I only need a dozen cells, max). My colonies seem to live hand-to-mouth with pollen, using it as it comes in. So made a box to go on the front of my entrances that will hold one of these:

Covers the whole entrance. If I use now it'll get clogged with drones.
Thanks . . . . . Ben
