Outdoor Bumblebee Hive

Description

Bumblebee Hive for outdoor crop pollination

The Agrobio Outdoor Hive is specifically designed to optimize the pollination of open-field crops, thanks to its robust, ventilated, and heat-resistant structure. Inside, it houses a live colony of Bombus terrestris, consisting of a queen, active workers, brood at different developmental stages, and supplementary food for an immediate start after installation.

Thanks to its design prepared for outdoor conditions, this hive maintains colony stability even under high temperatures or climatic changes typical of outdoor cultivation. It is an especially useful tool in crop pollination, where natural, efficient, and continuous fruit set is required.

Natural pollination, without artificial treatments

The use of bumblebees significantly improves fruit quality, achieving greater homogeneity, better size, and more uniform ripening. Unlike manual methods or hormonal treatments, this solution reduces operational costs and agronomic risks, promoting more sustainable and profitable production.

Furthermore, as a nationally produced product, Agrobio guarantees fast delivery, greater freshness in the colony, and technical support adapted to the climatic conditions of the Iberian Peninsula, which translates into more effective and controlled pollination.

Usage and recommendations for optimal performance

To maximize the hive's effectiveness, it is recommended to place it on a firm surface, protected from direct rain, and with good ventilation. If temperatures are high, it is advisable to install it in cooler areas or with some shade during the central hours of the day.

When using several hives on the same farm, it is important to orient them in different directions to prevent workers from getting confused or switching colonies. Once installed, it should be left to rest for 15 minutes to 2 hours before opening the exit, allowing the bumblebees to adapt to the environment. It is recommended to activate the hive in the morning, in good light conditions, to favor a rapid incorporation of the colony into the crop.
