1468657 2020-05-17 08:32:00 absolutely. if i remember right they are meant to be about 10x more effective pollinator than honey bees.
however from a pollination stand point they simply lack the huge numbers required for cost effective crop pollination.
even at 400 bumbles to a nest (the large bumble hives are only 100 or so bumble bees), is no match for the typical 20,000 to 40,000 honeys bees per hive.

Maybe, but I prefer Honey to Bumbles. There's already a surplus of bumbles at this QTH
