- Once your original hive has run its course you can introduce a new hive into your existing hive shelter
- Agralan supply Bombus Terrestris Audax, which are native British Bumblebees
- 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
- Instructions included
- Bumblebees are suitable for pollinating a wide range of crops such as strawberries, blueberries, currants, cherries, raspberries, tomatoes, beans, peppers, plums, apples and pears
What you need to know:
- 1 x Agralan Bumblebee New Season Hive Replacement
- Replacement bee hive for your existing shelter
- Hive only - no shelter included
- The colony alone is not suitable for use outdoors without protection from the weather
- Bumblebees are different from Honey bees in that they form short-term colonies and construct their own nests in existing cavities. They are docile and will only sting if severely aggravated. All bumblebees require nectar for energy and pollen for protein in order to survive
