QUEENFLY® (Eristalis tenax) is a generalist hoverfly pollinator that tirelessly visits a large number of flowers throughout the season. This species is recognised as one of the most abundant and important natural pollinators worldwide. Its effectiveness has long been acknowledged, both in protected crops and in open-field conditions. QUEENFLY® can significantly improve the yield and quality of seeds and fruits, and its adaptability to cold and cloudy conditions makes it a valuable ally when other pollinators — whether domestic or wild — are less active. This hoverfly species exhibits intense foraging behaviour, characterised by frequent and prolonged visits to flowers, which greatly enhances crop pollination.
