Natupol Seeds is easy, reliable, uncomplicated, relatively quickly available, and also usable out of season. B I O L O G I C A L S YS TEMS Veilingweg 14 WIL VAN AERT, ROYAL VAN ZANTEN, THE NETHERLANDS: 2651 BE Berkel en Rodenrijs Much higher quality than elsewhere The Netherlands Royal Van Zanten uses Natupol Seeds in secluded areas each measuring one square metre. The pollination activity is good; four Phone +31 (0) or five bumblebees are working at any one time. The pollination lasts a long time: 85 to 90 per cent of the time it lasts five to six weeks, the other 10 to 15 per cent of the time it lasts three to four weeks. Thanks to Natupol Seeds, our workload has reduced by at least 80 to 90 per cent. The product is really simple to use.
