Bumblebee Keeper – A new book.
The founding and technical details of the bumblebee pollination industry. Bumblebees have become a standard part of greenhouse tomato production in NZ since the 1990s, but the general public knows little of the industry, and few realise its role in providing flavoursome juicy tomatoes year-round. The newer greenhouse growers may not know how the industry began and how the demand for bumblebees for tomato pollination exploded in every market to which they were introduced. A new book by Nelson Pomeroy, the founder of Zonda Bees, describes the origins of the bumblebee industry and gives an inside look at the production processes.
