Positioning tips
The performance of our bumblebees is greatly dependent on the way in which the colonies are released into the crop or exposed to the greenhouse environment. The recommendations of Koppert and its advisers on the basis of best practices are of essential importance for problem-free pollination. Koppert is constantly carrying out research and improving its products. The Pollination Checklist is also regularly checked and - if desirable - modified.Take a look here for more detailed advice, or contact your local adviser. You can download the poster and hang it up in your greenhouse.
Bumblebee stings
Koppert has summarized a number of recommendations for the treatment of bumblebee stings and allergies for you. Click here for clear instructions on how to treat a bumblebee sting. You can hang up the poster in a clearly visible location in the greenhouse. Write the contact information for medical assistance (including emergency medical assistance) on this poster to ensure it is available if needed.After repeated stings (sometimes even after the second or third sting), only about 1% of the population has an allergic reaction, also known as a general, systemic, or anaphylactic reaction to stings. Since allergic reactions involve anti-bodies that were formed during a previous sting, an allergic reaction cannot occur after the very first sting. Allergic reactions usually occur shortly after the sting (from within a few seconds to as long as 30 minutes afterwards).
