Be Bee Vectoring: An Alternative to Spraying

Rationale for Vectoring: v Same principles as natural pollination v The flower is the primary portal of entry for many diseases & insects v Flowers are the best place for the active ingredient to inoculate the plant Benefits of Vectoring: v Minimizes waste of control agent; no water v Continual delivery throughout the bloom period (spraying can miss blooms) v Additional yield & quality benefits from improved pollination Bee Vectoring: Use of commercial bees to deliver control agents to flowering crops to manage crop diseases and pests and enhance quality and yields of crops 115 crops worldwide; 85 require pollination Bees contribute to 1/3 of food in human diet 80+ million beehives globally

v Larger insects with greater carrying capacity v Generally better fliers in cold/damp weather v Existing market structure (commercial bumble bee production) v Simpler “passive” mechanical system v Much larger hives (20,000 vs 300) v Greater coverage (acres) per hive v Electro-mechanical system; could include hive health monitoring
