Bumble Bee Colony

Bumble bees are suitable for pollinating a wide range of crops such as strawberries, blueberries, currants, cherries, raspberries, tomatoes, beans, peppers, plums, apples and pears.

Good pollination will improve the yield and quality of the crop. The colony consists of a queen and workers, with a supply of ‘nectar’ to feed the bumblebees if a natural source of nectar is in short supply.

Place your colony in the garden, open it and the bumblebees will fly out to forage for pollen. At the end of the life of the colony, the bumblebees will die off. However new queens will be produced that will fly away to create colonies of their own.

Pack consists of 1x replacement colony - if your original hive has run its course you can introduce a new hive into your existing hive shelter.
