BEEPOL Garden Hive Available March to August (GS-BEE011UK)
Price: £69.50
Beepol is a live colony of bumblebees, Housed and supplied in a maintenance free hive
Each hive contains native UK Bumblebee species, a queen bumblebee, workers and bee food
Reared in disease free, hygienic conditions for release into British gardens and wildlife areas
Each colony has a viewing panel under the lid for observation of the bees
Bumblebees are released by an easy to use trap door system
Hives incorporate a bee home system that allows bees back into the hive and holds them for later release if needed
Bumblebees will pollinate a wide variety of plants outdoors including fruit and some vegetable plants. They also help maximise yields from greenhouse grown plants like Tomatoes, Peppers and Aubergines
The Beepol hive has been designed to educate as well as pollinate! A clear viewing panel in the lid allows observation of the colony it develops, whilst the exit and entrance system enable you to watch the bees at work, as they bring pollen back to the hive. Bumblebee colonies do not continue like honeybee hives, so hives have a limited lifespan and will need replacing. However before the queen bee dies; she produces young queens that will leave the hive to hibernate before establishing fresh new colonies in the spring. Despatched on Wednesdays.
Available from March to August.
