Delivered in specially designed hives, Bumble Bees (Bombus impatiens) can be used effectively for the pollination of a variety of crops, like tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplants, melons, strawberries, apples, pears and cherries. Improved pollination results in larger more abundant fruits and vegetables.
With the maintenance-free Garden Hive (Natupol®), you don't have to be a beekeeper to have the benefits of proper pollination. All you have to do is remove the hive from the shipping box, open the entrance, and walk away.
Each Natupol® hive consists of 45 to 60 workers and has an expected life span of 4-5 weeks. Covers up to 5000 square feet. Larger hives available upon request.
