How to use

Position the Natupol Standard hive within the crop in a suitable location where the bumblebees can easily access flowering plants.

Allow the colony time to settle after positioning before opening the hive and enabling the bumblebees to begin foraging.

Natupol Standard is intended for crop areas larger than 2,000m² with approximately 25 to 35 flowers per m² per week.

Follow the product-specific instructions for hive placement, introduction, environmental conditions and ongoing management.

Specifications

Active Ingredients 1 Natupol Standard hive Bombus terrestris ssp. audax, including a queen, workers, brood and sugar water.
Control After introduction of the hive, worker bumblebees start pollinating the flowers while at the same time collecting pollen to feed the brood. More workers emerge from the brood in the weeks after the introduction, increasing both colony size and pollination performance. After some weeks the colony will reach its maximum size and starts declining in size and pollination activity. Colony development depends on environmental conditions and the amount and quality of pollen. Environmental conditions: Natupol performs best at ambient temperatures between 12-30°C. Pay attention to advice for best practice under conditions with artificial light or in hot environments.
