Beeline Bee Hives Bombus terrestris spp. audax
These hives contain a species of bee native to the UK and may be used on protected and outdoor crops to improve pollination. The hives and their number should be matched to the type of crop, area and flower numbers. Pollination is typically used in a range of protected crops such as tomato, pepper, aubergine, strawberry, raspberry, berried ornamentals and for seed production. Introduce when pollination is required. A door lock system may be closed at night when the bees have returned to the hive to keep them in. Under normal conditions the hives are maintenance free and, depending on type, will remain active for several weeks.
