Sustainable use of pollinators Bee-lock: new lock-in system for bumblebees
As of July 2010 all standard and medium (S4) Biobest bumblebee hives will be equipped with the new Bee-lock system.
The new lock-in system consists of 2 parts:
• A tapered tube • A check valve with ventilation openings
Responding to demands from UK outdoor soft fruit growers and conservation bodies, Biobest is the first to offer native British bumblebees, Bombus terrestris audax for outdoor pollination.
