The Importance of New Product Development
As the season winds down here at Natural Technologies, we get the chance to reflect on our successes and shortcomings of the previous year. The cyclical and seasonal nature of lawn care is different for suppliers than it is for applicators and, at times, the onset of fall and winter feels like a beginning more than it feels like a end. The previous year has seen the BeeSafe brand grow to just over one hundred locations and applicators and it’s our estimate that close to twenty five thousand lawns are now being treated without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

It would be an understatement to say that we are “pleased” with the direction and growth curve of our model.
