Production and quality control
The production of bumblebees for natural pollination is entirely carried out in our factory, where the bumblebee’s life cycle is recreated in a controlled environment under strict quality controls.
PRODUCTION IN A CONTROLLED CYCLE
We reproduce the bumblebee’s life cycle in captivity, simulating the conditions of the four seasons in climatic rooms especially adapted to ensure a high success rate during the most critical stages of the cycle.
Our production process is a closed cycle, that is, all queens beginning the cycle are own produced and selected according to the highest health and quality standards. We can state that our hives reach the highest potential of pollination.
On the other hand, the production in isolated facilities avoids our bumblebees getting in touch with other wild pollinators, reducing drastically the risk of contamination by diseases and external pathogens.
FEEDING
The good development of the bumblebee’s life cycle depends on two types of food: pollen, used to build the hive and get the proteins they need to grow; and nectar, which contains the sugar they use as source of energy.
In Agrobio, all nutrients are natural. Synthetic products that could reduce the hive’s performance are not used.
The feeding of our bumblebees has been designed according to the nutritional needs of each stage of the life cycle and guarantees an optimal development of the hive in every production phase. This way our hives have a great quality at the time of sale and guarantee excellent results in the pollination of crops.
QUALITY CONTROL
Agrobio makes a strict quality control in every stage of the production process in order to ensure that health, environmental and nutritional conditions are ideal. In addition to this, along with expert veterinaries, we make a thorough selection of the best queens and hives during the different stages.
Our production process has the certification ISO 9001 in quality management, which guarantees the system’s efficiency and competitivity.
All these procedures, along with the continuous research and processes improvement, let Agrobio offer products with the best quality in the market.
AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS
Our hives are available during the whole year, with the best development status to work in the field.
The logistics team works to ensure the best conditions, avoiding the stress of the pollinators during the transport process, so they will be ready to start pollinating as soon as they go into the crop.
