Bumble bees have become an excellent alternative for the fruit set of
tomatoes. This was a very labor-intensive job.
Bumblebees are used world-wide for the pollination of hydroponic
tomatoes as well many other indoor and outdoor fruit crops resulting in
enormous savings in labor costs, improvements of fruit quality and
sometimes even increased production.
In recent years the use of bumblebees has expanded to a range of
other crops. Bees are an excellent pollinator of many fruit crops, both
indoors and outdoors. Also in the domain of seed selection and seed
production, bumblebees have proven to be useful.
The benefits of natural pollination for the user are many fold:
- saving labor costs
- improved fruit quality
- increased productivity
- pollination that is independent of weather
conditions or native pollinators
- reduced pollen quantity in glasshouse gives better
working environment
