Bumblebee pollination in high temperatures

Bumblebees need to keep cool in hot summer conditions to be able to function optimally and carry out their valuable pollination work. Koppert’s guidelines advise growers to protect the hive against direct sunlight and to place it in a cool spot. There are various methods available for growers to do so.

We continually conduct research to ensure that its Natupol hive produces the most effective and productive pollinators. The study of climatic and environmental conditions in which bumblebees need to operate in various countries worldwide conducted over a period of 30 years, has led to a number of innovations that have now been built into the design of the popular Natupol hives.

Koppert consultants pay close attention to feedback they receive from growers from as far afield as Canada, Chile, and China and have come up with a number of useful guidelines that will help growers to get the best out of their bumblebees. The best practices advice is aimed mainly at warm to hot climates.
