Bumblebees for Pollination

in 1988 the bumblebee was discovered to be the best pollinator for tomatoes due to its unique ’buzz’ pollination technique. before this discovery, tomatoes were pollinated manually, which was labor-intensive and less efficient. within three years, the application of bumblebees in tomatoes became the global standard. from 1993 on, bumblebees were successfully tested in various other crops showing benefits as commercial pollinators. nowadays, bumblebee pollination is applied in over a hundred different crops worldwide. mission and vision: koppert biological systems contributes to better health of people and the planet. in partnership with nature, we make agriculture healthier, safer and more productive. we provide an integrated system of specialist knowledge and natural, safe solutions that improves crop health, resilience and production. partners with nature
