Information

In 2013 Dragonfli will be launching new and updated designs of the Beepol Bumblebee Lodge and Beepol Bumblebee Cabin. Both designed will provide the perfect habitat for a live colony of Beepol bumblebees. The new Lodges and Cabins  incorporate increased protection from wax moth attack and  better protection from wet weather. Dragonfli now also offers a wide range of seeds, plants and hedging plants to provide the ideal natural habitat that bees need to survive and thrive in the British countryside. There is also a new range of Butterfly friendly seeds and plants to help conserve and protect butterfly populations. When sowing or planting, one of the best ways to help young plants establish is with the addition of beneficial fungi like Mycorrhizal fungi. The Dragonfli range of Boost products are specially formulated to help plants establish in standard or adverse growing conditions.  Dragonfli supply granular  Mycorrhiza products  for use at planting and soluble versions for watering in at or after planting. To combat insect pests in the garden , try first to establish habitats that will attract beneficial insects such as Ladybirds and Lacewings. If they are not present in large enough numbers, Dragonfli supplies a wide range of biological control and natural enemies to help combat pests naturally.

COLDER TEMPERATURES DOES SLOW DOWN BEE ACTIVITY

Please be aware that in cooler temperatures activity from bumblebees will be reduced but hopefully warmer temperatures will return soon! Although bumblebees will fly at lower temperatures than honeybees, however activity is increased with warmer conditions.

If you are planting out bee friendly plants, remember Roots Boost Mycorrhiza is an ideal planting aid, encouraging root growth and top growth, whilst also helping newly planted plants establish in even nutrient weak soils or compost.
