Pollination

Leafcutter bees are generalists; meaning they don’t stick to certain blossoms, they like to pollinate whatever they find and like. They pollinate most blooming garden fruit, vegetables and various flowers.

Beyond honey bees, solitary bees have been pollinating our food and flowers around the world for millions of years. They are the original and best pollinators and we’ve chosen to work with a great bee that is a generalist (love all types of flowers), easy-to-raise, gentle, and a superior pollinator.

Our favourite summertime bee is the leafcutter bee, which emerges when the weather starts to reach 24°C. It is a super pollinator that carries pollen dry on their underside which falls off on each flower visited. The honey bee carries pollen wet and sticky on their hind legs, with little pollen falling off.
