Without pollinators such as bees, there would be no fruit crops in the first place, but sometimes, we need to give nature a helping hand.
By working with Koppert UK, we provide customers with the highest quality pollinators to supplement natural colonies. This ensures that successful pollination and fruit set is achieved to support indoor and outdoor crop production. We also recommend introductions in pears and cherries too.
Koppert’s Natupol Bombus terrestris audax colonies are prepared ready for spring flowering, working a range of indoor and outdoor crops. They work by releasing worker bees to pollinate the crop, supported by more workers born in the weeks after their introduction from a strong brood provided within the hive.
The hives are designed based on the way bumblebees see, making them easier for the bees to find and therefore improving productivity.
