Overview

BioBee Biological Solutions, Canada Inc, is a subsidiary of BioBee Sde Eliyahu Ltd. is a unique company which produces beneficial insects and mites for agricultural purposes. These organisms include natural enemies for integrated biological pest control, bumblebees for natural pollination, and sterile males of the Mediterranean fruit fly. Biological Control - BioBee's products serve both conventional and organic growers. They constitute an indispensable component in Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which aims at reducing the use of harsh chemical pesticides. IPM is at the forefront of modern agriculture and is an effective method to reduce chemical residues, and prevent the development of pesticide resistance. Biobee's products are implemented in Israel and abroad in thousands of hectares of greenhouses and open fields. Natural Pollination – BioBee produces Bombus terrestris for pollination of numerous agricultural crops including greenhouse vegetables (e.g. tomato, sweet pepper, eggplant, squash, strawberry, etc.) and open field plantations such as apple, pear, cherry, blueberry and others. Sterile males of the Mediterranean fruit fly – BioBee produces sterile males, for sustainable control of the Mediterranean fruit fly in various agricultural crops, using Sterile Insect Technique. Using ground and aerial distribution systems, the environment is inundated with sterile males. Mating between sterile males and fertile females does not yield viable offspring. Gradually, the population of this pest decreases, and control is achieved.
