Honey bees play an important role in the pollination of many crops, fruit trees and flowering plants. Raw Cornish Honey provides managed honey bee colonies for pollination, helping growers support natural pollination and improve crop production.

We can work with farmers, growers, orchards, market gardens and other landowners looking to introduce honey bee colonies during key flowering periods.
