Bumblebee Pollination

Pollination is defined as the transport of pollen by a vector including wind, water, birds, and bats but an important factor is pollinated by insects. And some species require only bees to cross-pollinate because they are self-incompatible. Bye the way, what makes bumblebees are special for pollinators of crops?

Bumblebees are more reliable pollinators which have lower temperature conditions than honey bees and can pollinate flowers in cooler. And also they have long tongues are especially effective pollinator of flowers with long tubes. Bumblebees are capable of buzz pollinations(about 400HZ vibrate the anthers in short bursts to release pollen) make excellent pollinators of solanaceous flowers such as tomatoes and peppers. With greenhouse crops such as tomato, for which bumblebees are also very effective pollinators growers now not just in greenhouses but in plastic tunnels, structures covered with screen and in open fields; fruit grower like apple persimmon peach etc

Green Agro Tech established production system managed by computerized automation system as well as large production capacity more than 40,000 colonies all year round rearing system. And also, welleducated consultant manager is located in large area greenhouse cluster widely spread in whole country to communicate directly with farmers.

In order to satisfy these markets conditions, our facility had established to have colonies available all year round rearing. Bumblebee requires artificial feeding source(high protein pollen & sugar solution) provided by GAT quality control for colony development in our facility. For preparation of commercial hive, fully filled sugar solution into plastic container located at the bottom of the hive and supplied to the brood compartment automatically through filter. Quality is controlled by manager who is completing hives recheck and Kotbuni Bumblebee dispatch from safety logistics system. Every time customer needs bumblebee pollinator, we are close to you.
