Natupol Excel Start-Up is ideal for pollinating indoor crops like round and plum tomatoes. Each package includes one hive with a colony of bumblebees, including a queen, 100-125 workers, brood, and sugar water. It is recommended for crops grown on surfaces larger than 2000 m² with approximately 25-35 flowers per m² per week.

The worker bumblebees begin pollinating the crop upon release, with additional workers born in the following weeks to support pollination. The hives are designed for improved visibility among the crop, known as Beevision, which helps bumblebees find the hive easily, reducing losses and improving pollination efficiency.

Description

Application of Natupol Excel Start-Up involves several key steps to ensure optimal bumblebee activity and performance in the greenhouse:

  1. Distribution of Hives: Place the Natupol hives evenly along the main path of the greenhouse. Ensure they are positioned on a horizontal platform to avoid inclination, which can lead to the leaking of sugar water.
  2. Summer Positioning: During the summer, position the hive about 20-60 cm above the ground on the south side of a path to maximize shade from the crop. Additional shading may be necessary in some cases.
  3. Winter Positioning: In winter, position the hive near the top of plants on the north side of the main path. Ensure the hive is exposed to the first daylight.
  4. Wait Time: Wait at least 15 minutes after positioning the hives before opening the hive entrance. This allows the bumblebee colonies to settle down.

Best Working Conditions:

  • Natupol performs best at ambient temperatures between 10-30°C.

Handling:

  • Each hive contains food to keep the bumblebees in good condition during transport and storage.
  • Start using the hive on the day of arrival for optimal pollination results.
  • Maintain bumblebees at a temperature between 15-25°C and avoid direct sunlight on the hive.

Special Points of Attention:

  • Ensure hives and entrances are well visible for easy navigation by bumblebees.
  • Place no more than two hives next to or close to each other to reduce the drift of bumblebees.
  • Provide shade in warm conditions to prevent overheating of the hive.

Attention:

  • Natupol Bumblebee hives contain a "Bee Happy" nectar bag that must be uncapped before releasing the bumblebees. If left capped, the hive will not develop properly.
  • To uncap the "Bee Happy" bag, follow the provided steps carefully.
