Osmia (France)

In response to the increasing demand in fruits and seeds, but limited by space and constrained by strict ecological regulation, farmers must seek for sustainable solutions to increase crop yield. Pollination is a cheap, yet undervalued, way of enhancing crop yield.

Osmia services offer to carefully select, grow, and dispatch pollination bees that will boost the crop yields of fruits and various cultures. Osmia has a strong expertise in plant-insect relations, which allows to select the best species for each kind of crop. Services are now essentially based in France but and now expanding to European countries.

Apple, strawberries, sunflowers, many kinds of culture would benefit from the services offered by Osmia. Using specialized bees seems a much more profitable solution than electronic drones. In June 2018, the company started a fundraising to increase their production.
