I would like to start raising bumblebees

You are in the section where we will introduce you in detail to the issue of bumblebee breeding, truly from A to Z.

What will you learn here? 

• If you are just considering breeding, definitely do not miss the necessary first consideration section , where you will learn whether breeding bumblebees is suitable for you at all and will bring you joy and benefit the bumblebees, or whether it will be different. You can't start other than from A 🙂

• If you have read the introductory balance sheet and are thinking: "Yes, I am willing to go for it, so where should I start?" There is no other way than to prepare. It is worth reading the section on bumblebees first, so that you can get to know this animal species better and understand its life needs and life cycle. The second step is to prepare the breeding tools. You cannot do without the right hive. You can find advice on how to choose the right one here.

• This is the first in a series of tips and recommendations that we have prepared for you.

• We will gradually add more topics describing in detail how to properly prepare a bumblebee trap for bumblebees. Luckily (not?), spring is still a long way off.

• We are constantly updating our site and adding good experiences. If you use something that has worked for you, please share it with others here . Our goal is to share good experiences, and it doesn't have to be just ours 🙂
