A Pollination Enhancer That Boosts Bee Activity in Orchards
Apis Bloom is a pollination enhancer designed to increase honeybee activity and improve pollination efficiency in crops. The product uses a proprietary blend of terpenoids to mimic the natural process bees use to mark high-value nectar or pollen sources. Applied as a pink wax-like paste using the SPLAT (Specialized Pheromone and Lure Application Technology) formulation, Apis Bloom is eco-friendly, rainfast, and slow-release, ensuring longevity in the field and reducing the need for frequent applications. It’s evenly distributed in orchards, and promotes consistent foraging and pollination, resulting in improved fruit set and yield.

Benefits
Increased Beehive Activity
Honeybees leave the hive earlier and forage for longer periods, resulting in higher levels of pollination and improved fruit set.
MRL Management
Contains no chemical residues and poses no MRL concerns.
Environmentally Friendly
The pheromone compounds used are naturally occurring and do not harm beneficial insects.
Longevity
Pheromones are released continuously for 3–4 weeks after application, maintaining consistent bee activity in the crop.
How does it work?
Some crops naturally attract fewer bees, causing bees to forage on wild plants rather than the target crop, which reduces pollination efficiency. Apis Bloom is applied as dollops throughout the orchard, releasing a controlled-dose honeybee attractant—the same pheromone worker bees emit upon discovering rich nectar sources.
This attractant:
1. Concentrates bees in the target crop area.
2. Stimulates communication and recruitment of additional bees back at the hive.
3. Encourages bees to forage longer and cover greater distances, increasing pollination coverage and efficiency.
Standard pollination practices create an uneven distribution of honeybees throughout the field.
APIS BLOOM induces a uniform and thorough distribution of pollination activity by honeybees.
Efficacy & Trial Data:
Trials in Kiwi Orchards have demonstrated the following results:
Bee Pollen Weights
61.2% increase in pollen collected by bees in Apis Bloom-treated areas.
Bee Activity
47% increase in hive activity in treated orchards, measured by counting bees leaving and returning to the hives.
Fruit Set
14% increase in the number of fruit per vine in treated areas compared to untreated controls.
Apis Bloom effectively enhances pollination rates, supports longer and wider foraging, and maximizes fruit set for increased orchard productivity.
