ORDER YOUR BUMBLEBEES NOW

Demand was very high last spring with some late orders missing out.

Biobees is urging all growers to get in touch early this year to secure your order.

We prioritise our scheduled orders and may not be able to fulfill last minute needs so don't treat bumblebees like a last minute weather fix as these take 8+ weeks to produce! Make them a part of your plans for each season and see your orchard productivity stabilise.

Please contact us directly or speak early with your Horticentre rep. about your needs this season.

MAXIMISED POTENTIAL

Maintaining the perfect hive temperature costs the bumblebees in time and effort. When insulation is inadequate, more bees will stay at home for thermoregulation duties potentially wasting precious daylight hours.

Using our new insulated outer equates to greater bee activity throughout the life of the hive, and better pollination outcomes for your crop!
