Bumble Bees - Free Shipping

Delivered in specially designed hives, Bumble Bees (Bombus impatiens) can be used effectively for the pollination of a variety of crops, like tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplants, melons, strawberries, apples, pears and cherries. Improved pollination results in larger more abundant fruits and vegetables. With the maintenance-free Garden Hive, you don't have to be a beekeeper to have the benefits of proper pollination. All you have to do is remove the hive from the shipping box, open the entrance, and walk away. Each hive consists of 45 to 60 workers and has an expected life span of 4-5 weeks. Covers up to 5000 sq. ft. Larger hives available upon request.
