Native Stingless Bees Pollination Service

Servicing Northern NSW and Southern QLD Regions

With the wild bee population on the decline, hiring a pollination service during flowering season is a great way to ensure successful pollination of your crop. Native stingless bees often outperform the European honey bee for the pollination of certain crops. Using a pollination service can benefit your crops in the following ways


  • Increased fruit set
  • Increased fruit weight
  • Increased fruit quality


All of the above equals a greater yield on your crop and ultimately a greater return on your investment. 


Based north of Brisbane Tetra Native Bees is a family owned and operated business with over 15 years of beekeeping experience. Our pollination service stretches from as far south as Byron Bay, as far north as Bundaberg and as far west as Toowoomba. 


To enquire about obtaining a native stingless bee pollination service on your farm simply fill out our pollination enquiry form below.

Crops Native Stingless Bees Are Known to Pollinate

The Advantages of Using Native Stingless Bees as Pollinators

Native stingless bees have shown to be successful pollinators of a number of crops including


  • Macadamia 
  • Blueberry 
  • Avocado
  • Strawberries
  • Lychees 
  • Mangoes 
  • Citrus and more


Due to their tiny size native stingless bees have a significantly smaller flight range compared to the European honey bee, only venturing a maximum of 500m from their hive but often preferring to stay much closer. This gives native bees a unique advantage when it comes to providing a pollination service as they will not easily forage beyond the crop boundary. This also makes them effective pollinators of many greenhouse crops.


Their tiny size grants them access to the smallest of flowers which can not be easily targeted by the much larger European honey bee. Native stingless bees are also more likely to target pollen than the European honey bee, which often prefers to target nectar. 


Their resistance to many pests such as the Varroa might is also another advantage of using native stingless bees.

Purchasing Verse Hiring Hives for Pollination

Advantages of Using a Pollination Service

Hiring a pollination service to pollinate your crops during flowering season is often advantageous over purchasing hives to remain permanently on your farm. Reasons for this include:


  • Native beehives placed permanently in a large farm setting will often struggle to find adequate food sources outside of crop flowering season. This is due to stingless bee's small flight range. 
  • Native beehives placed permanently in a farm setting do not allow for chemical treatment routines of crops.  
  • Purchasing hives comes with a large upfront cost.
  • Farmers must have the ability to maintain hives or be prepared to hire an outside service to do so.
  • Best positioning of hives can often limit access of commercial farming equipment.

How Much Does a Pollination Service Cost?

Servicing Northern NSW and Southern QLD Regions

Cost of a pollination service varies between $80 and $120 per hive and depends on the following factors.


  • Location of farm
  • Accessibility on farm for hive placement
  • Number of hives required to achieve successful pollination
  • Duration hives are required to achieve successful pollination

Frequently Asked Questions About Pollination

Pollination is part of a plants reproductive cycle in which pollen grains are transferred from the male reproductive organs (anthers) to its female organs (stigma). This process produces seeds, which are often contained in fruit.


Pollination is an essential part of our ecosystem. Without pollination the human race and all of Earths flora and fauna would not survive. Pollination is a critical step in crop production and should be managed by farmers from an early planning stage. 


In self-pollination, pollen is transferred from the anthers of a flower to the stigma of a flower on the same plant.


In cross-pollination, pollen is transferred from the anthers of a flower to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species. Cross pollination is often associated with healthier offspring and greater quantity and quality of seeds. Some plants such as macadamia, largely require pollination from a different variety to produce seeds. These plants are referred to as being 'self-incompatible' and rely heavily on pollinators to achieve successful pollination.


The transfer of pollen to the stigma involved in pollination can occur naturally by wind, gravity or water, or can be assisted by pollinators such as insects, birds and bats. Plants attract pollinators by offering resources such as nectar and pollen in a mutually beneficial trade off. With lack of suitable pollinators many farmers have also resorted to hand pollination. Sever weather conditions such as heavy rains and droughts can also influence pollination in a negative way.
