POLLINATION
Bee-Scent™ Bring More Bees To Your Crops With This WSDA Certified Organic Attractant. TARGET: Honeybees. DESCRIPTION: Applying this non-toxic, pheromone-based liquid attractant to your plants will entice honeybees to linger and forage on them. This swell in bee activity boosts pollen transfer, leading to enhanced pollination. Initial application imprints a foraging pattern on bees and they will return if their pollination window was shortened by weather. Bee-Scent contains no hive or bee products. Environmentally sound for bees, crops and applicators.
Natupol Bumblebee Hives
SUGGESTED USE: Apply with standard ground or aerial application units; no additives or equipment modifications needed. Two applications are recommended: first at early bloom (5-30% bloom) and second 5-8 days later (70-100% bloom). On long-blooming crops, treatments at regular intervals throughout the flowering season may be necessary. Early morning application is important. Weather must be favorable to bee flight – sunny and warmer than 60°F, with winds less than 15 mph. Standard application rate is 2 qts/acre.
Put These Portable Hives Where You Need Them Most To Greatly Improve Pollination. TARGET: For use indoors in greenhouses, hoophouses and other indoor growing. DESCRIPTION: By introducing gentle bumblebees to your crops, you can improve fruit quality, increase productivity, save labor costs by reducing hand pollination and provide pollination that is independent of weather conditions. These hives house the Bombus impatiens species of bumblebees and contain a colony with a queen, workers and brood (pupae, eggs and larvae). The Natupol Excel and Natupol Excel Startup hives replace the now-discontinued Natupol Class-A, Class-B & Class-C hives. These new hives have carefully considered innovations in design that keep the bees comfortable inside their hives and make it easier for them to enter and exit. Both have been also developed for use under artificial light and in warmer conditions to serve crops with large numbers of flowers per sq. ft. SUGGESTED USE: Natupol Excel: Replaces the Natupol Class-A & Class-C hives. An ideal choice greenhouses that operate consistently; especially so if they are at the beginning of the planting cycle before full bloom. Also excellent for consistently growing hydroponic operations. This hive may take longer to reach its maximum efficiency level than the Natupol Excel Startup, but will retain optimum performance over the course of time. Covers 1,000-15,000 sq. ft. and last for about 9 weeks. Natupol Excel Startup: Replaces Natupol Class-B hives. This larger size colony will provide intense pollination from day 1 and reach maximum efficiency rapidly, great for those crops that need heavy pollination in a short period of time. A wonderful choice for greenhouses that are near to or in full bloom and need thorough pollination immediately. Covers 1,000-15,000 sq. ft. and last for about 7-8 weeks. 1530111 1530112

SMALL HIVE BEETLE CONTROL
Heterorhabditis indica Protect Your Hives From Small Hive Beetle. Image Citation: Jessica Louque, Smithers Viscient
TARGET: Small Hive Beetles (Aethina tumida). DESCRIPTION: Now, more than ever, it is important to protect our bees and other pollinators. Using Beneficial Nematodes to control hive beetles is cost effective and eco-friendly.
Aethina tumida
Heterorhabditis indica is a heat tolerant, entomopathogenic nematode that attacks pre-pupal stages of small hive beetle in the soil. By suspending the nematodes in water and applying to the soil below and around the hive, the nematodes quickly seek out the pupal stage and attack, typically entering the pest and killing it within 24-48 hours. H. indica are a virulent and aggressive species of nematodes and work best when the strength of the hive is maintained. SUGGESTED USE: Remove bag from outer package and fill with water. Once filled, agitate the gel and strain over pint sized container. Once over the container, pour another half pint of water over gel to ensure all nematodes strain out. Take pint of liquid and mix into 5 gallons of water, agitate and apply to infected area. Irrigate after treatment. Use 5 million for every 10 hives. 1220200
