Pollination Services

Bees play an important role in the food industry with much of Australia’s agricultural production depending on honeybees. Some plants are completely dependent on bees for pollination, apples and cherries for example, whereas others like canola and sunflower benefit by receiving a significant boost in yield following bee pollination.

Pollination can be extremely beneficial for bees. Some pollen produced by crops is high in protein which can greatly improve beehive health and help to increase bee numbers.

The costs for pollination services varies depending on the crop, time of year and travel distance. If you’re interested in pollination services please contact us to discuss your requirements.
