honey bee | Mason bee (Osmia bicornis und Osmia cornuta) | bumblebee (Bubble BOOST) |
- versatile (various flowering cultures are attractive to them)
- Flight activity: from 12°C
- very flower-steady (quickly learn to prefer one type of flower)
- 3,000 – 4,000 flowers/day per bee
- long activity from April to August
- more susceptible to disease
- relatively high demand for knowledge and time
- Susceptible to competing flowers (tend to quickly accept more attractive flowering plants)
- approx. 3km collection radius and 10km flight radius
| - versatile (various flowering cultures are attractive to them)
- Flight activity from 8°C
- solitary lifestyle (hermit bees: build their brood and care for offspring alone)
- high cross-pollination (positive effect on genetic diversity, taste, ... and yield of the plants)
- 8,000 flowers/day per bee
- 4-6 weeks of activity
- rather easy to care for
- Pollen is collected on the abdomen (more efficient type of pollination, as there is a higher probability of fertilization per approach)
- Breeding with little time investment
- hardly susceptible to competitive costumes
- If the flowering is good, the collection radius is about 50 - 100m around the nest box
| - versatile (various flowering cultures are attractive to them)
- Flight activity from 8°C
- somewhat flower-steady
- 5,000 - 6,000 flowers/day and bumblebee
- Activity approx. 7 - 8 weeks
- easy-care
- Vibration pollinator (with muscles) little time required
