ONE BEE DOES NOT MAKE AN APPLE
Up to 40 % more harvests of stone fruit, pome fruit, soft fruit, rapeseed, pumpkin or zucchinis? With a simultaneous decline in many insect species? This is possible with the help of pollination beekeeping!

Pollinator beekeepers specifically place honeybee, wild bee or bumblebee colonies in agricultural and horticultural crops to ensure optimal pollination.

All important questions about pollination beekeeping, pollinating insects and the crops to be pollinated are answered: How do pollinator beekeepers work, how do farmers or gardeners benefit? How should optimal cooperation between beekeepers and farmers or gardeners be organized? With profiles of the most important crops.

• Everything about optimal management, legal issues, colony management and bee-friendly agriculture
• Due to the massive decline of many insect species, the success of harvests in gardens and fruit crops is at risk - pollination beekeeping can help to ensure or even increase the harvest
• Yield increases of 20 to 40 % possible for agricultural and horticultural products!
