ORDER YOUR BUMBLEBEES NOW

DON'T WAIT TO ORDER HIVES THIS SEASON!
It takes 8-10 weeks to rear a commercial bumblebee hive so the more notice you give us, the better able we are to meet demand and keep quality high.

MAXIMISED POTENTIAL

Maintaining the perfect hive temperature costs the bumblebees in time and effort. When insulation is inadequate, more bees will stay at home for thermoregulation duties potentially wasting precious daylight hours.

Using our new insulated outer in winter or spring equates to greater bee activity throughout the life of the hive, and better pollination outcomes for your crop!
