POLLINATION ‘Bee prepared’ is our motto when it comes to pollination Pollination is an annual challenge for growers when it comes to the production of vegetables, fruit and seed. We all know that well pollinated crops result in considerably higher yields and improve the quality and shelf life of these products. Today’s horticultural market is very dynamic and continuously influenced by many trends. Changing production techniques, artificial lighting, closed greenhouses, and global warming all have a huge impact on the work environment of our Natupol bumblebees. These changes in circumstances have led to various innovations developed in response to our customers’ changing requirements. Our pollination product portfolio and ‘best practice’ advice reflects this unique alignment with growers’ needs. We now produce over a million bumblebee hives annually to help growers cultivate their crops successfully around the world. The hives are produced at facilities located at four strategic sites so that they are reared close to their respective markets to ensure the highest vitality and availability. Our customers are supported by professional consultants worldwide. 37
