Let's pollinate the world!

The ecosystem service of pollination plays a vital role in agriculture, significantly contributing to the production of essential crops throughout Brazil and the world. With growing concerns about the decline of natural pollinator populations and their impact on food security, there is a need for tools that can help address this challenge effectively, increasing agricultural productivity.

Connecting Farmers, Beekeepers, and Meliponiculturists for the Pollination of Agricultural Crops with Bees

The ecosystem service of pollination plays a vital role in agriculture, significantly contributing to the production of essential crops throughout Brazil and the world. With growing concerns about the decline of natural pollinator populations and their impact on food security, there is a need for tools that can help address this challenge effectively, increasing agricultural productivity.

Advantages of Bee Pollination

  • Increase in soybean productivity by up to 13% in studies conducted by Embrapa;

  • Increase in the average crude protein and oil content in the grain by more than 20%;

  • Greater formation of pods with three seeds, increase in the average weight of the seeds.

  • Improvement in strawberry fruit formation (-76% deformation);

  • Increase in sweetness (+16% in Brix);

  • Increase in fruit weight (+13% in weight).

Other crops such as eggplant, sunflower, orange, and tomato also increase their productivity and quality when pollinated. They are positively affected in terms of size, weight, shape, and durability of fruits and seeds, as well as the content and quality of oils and fibers.

Various other crops can benefit from assisted pollination using bees.

  • Increase in productivity by up to 20% in coffee cultivation;

  • Reduction in fruit abortion rates; More uniform maturation;

  • Increase in fruit sweetness (Brix).

Our goal is to connect farmers with beekeepers and meliponiculturists in order to optimize the pollination of crops and promote the sustainability of bee populations. Through Beehub, farmers can request pollination services with just a few clicks. We at Beehub will find beekeepers and meliponiculturists close to their crops to assist in the pollination of their plantations. This not only benefits agricultural production but also helps encourage beekeepers and meliponiculturists to establish new colonies in their apiaries and meliponaries, consequently aiding in the preservation of bees, which play a crucial role in the ecosystem. By facilitating this connection between different sectors, Beehub aims to promote a more sustainable and collaborative approach to agriculture, ensuring the continuity of pollination and the preservation of bees.

Pollination

Our goal is to connect farmers with beekeepers and meliponiculturists to optimize crop pollination and promote the sustainability of bee populations. Through Beehub, farmers can request pollination with just a few clicks, and we will find beekeepers and meliponiculturists near their crops to assist with pollination. This not only benefits agricultural production but also encourages beekeepers and meliponiculturists to increase the creation of new colonies in their apiaries and meliponaries, consequently contributing to the preservation of bees in Brazil, which play a fundamental role in the ecosystem. By facilitating this connection between different sectors, Beehub seeks to promote a more sustainable and collaborative approach to agriculture, ensuring the continuity of pollination and the preservation of bees
