Whatever your crop we are willing to advise you on how pollination might help your crop and it’s yield.
We charge per hive plus freight.
Please feel free to contact us for advice and a quote. Please note we would need at least a month notice so we can prepare our bees.
Please also note that you and your neighbours must agree to not use chemicals that are adverse to bees while they are pollinating your crop.
