Did you know bumblebees are the unsung heroes behind our greenhouse-grown tomatoes? At Bushel Boy, we use bumblebees to naturally and efficiently pollinate our tomato plants. These busy pollinators vibrate the flowers through a process called buzz pollination, transferring enough pollen in a single visit to ensure the development of ripe, flavorful tomatoes. 🌱🍅 Here’s why bumblebees are perfect for our greenhouse setting: 🐝 They are incredibly efficient pollinators, working much faster than manual methods. 🐝 Their colony lifestyle ensures continuous foraging and pollination. 🐝 They thrive in controlled environments like greenhouses, adapting well to temperature and humidity conditions. In just 50-60 days after pollination, our vibrant tomato flowers transform into the juicy, delicious tomatoes you find in stores. This partnership between nature and innovation ensures fresh, local produce year-round. We’re proud to grow food sustainably and support pollinator health. A big thank-you to our bumblebee partners for their important work!
