Natupol Smart Bumblebee Colony Voucher

This voucher entitles the bearer to a full colony of British Buff-tailed Bumblebees (Bombus Terrestris Audax) which can be delivered in spring. Each colony comes with a Queen, worker bees, a brood (eggs, larvae and pupae) and a food supply of sugar water housed beneath the colony itself. Live Bees can be delivered between April and July 2024. The voucher will give instructions on how to book in the delivery of your colony. Bumblebees are fantastic pollinators and are wonderful to observe at work in and around the garden. The colony has a life cycle of around 2-3 months depending on the surrounding environment. New queens will be produced that will create colonies of their own in the local environment in subsequent years. The following year you can simply order a new colony. Please ensure you have a requisite shelter available. Colonies are best stored in greenhouses, glasshouses, polytunnels or our previously available wooden Villas. They need plenty of access and proximity to flowering plants. A one of a kind addition to any avid wildlife enthusiasts garden and a truly unique gift for the gardener that has it all.
