Paper tubes in various sizes are now an environmentally friendly alternative for nesting and brood pods (wild bees), as seeds for onion and garlic braids or as insemination lances in animal husbandry. Sustainable in production, compostable and biodegradable.
Our nesting and brood tubes help pollinating insects, especially wild bees, with an extra-thin paper brood straw that contains a metal barrier to protect it from predators.
Black System is revolutionizing the agricultural world with a stalk for pollinating insects, and in particular for wild bees (Osmia). These mason bees are known for their efficient pollination of fruit trees.
What's new about these stalks?
Compared to classic cardboard straws, Black Systems' solution has a much thinner wall thickness and therefore a 40 to 60% higher yield per m3.
The special straws have a wall thickness of only around 0.3 mm and an integrated protective barrier made of thin metal, in this case aluminum, on the outside . Aluminum is an inert material and therefore harmless to insects that come into contact with natural paper in the straws. The 4-layer straws are a good compromise between, on the one hand, resistance to insect pests piercing the straws, and, on the other hand, they allow the straws to be opened extremely easily in order to remove the cocoons.
A perfect hotel for wild bees and an optimal control and work tool for the wild beekeeper.
