In 1987 Biobest was the first company to bring bumblebees to the market. Today, this Belgian company is still a trendsetter in the field of pollination by bumblebees. Apart from bumblebees, Biobest also offers a comprehensive range of useful insects and mites, nematodes, biological pesticides and products to encourage useful insects to thrive. Biobest has 14 subsidiaries worldwide and dealers in over 60 countries.
Biobest offers a broader range of bumblebee species adapted to different regions of the world than any other supplier. Additionally, Biobest offers a wide range of hives for every pollination need, including its patented Flying Doctors® hive. Biological pollination goes hand in hand with the biological combating of plagues and diseases. Together they create a virtually impermeable line of defence in an integrated crop protection strategy. This is not only of benefit to people and the planet, but also to the grower in terms of production.
Ground-breaking innovations
Biobest guarantees the quality and efficacy of its products. The company also invests highly in R&D, which has resulted in ground-breaking innovations such as Nutrimite™ and Flying Doctors®. Nutrimite™ is a nutritional supplement for predatory mites based on specially selected pollen. Biobest also offers a wide range of monitoring and scouting instruments and customised solutions tailored to every type of project. Growers can always count on technical advice and adequate follow-up, no matter in which country they operate.
