MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 26, 2016) - Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. (the "Company" or "BVT") (TSX VENTURE:BEE) is pleased to provide a shareholder update offering an overview of various Company operations, business development opportunities and a statement from BVT CEO, Michael Collinson.
US Grower Demonstrations
Demonstrations of BVT's crop inoculation products and bee delivery platform are currently underway with leading strawberry producers in six sites across three US states. Sites include four in the Carolinas and two in Florida. Results, expected in February, from the demonstrations are expected to be the delivery of stronger plants and increased yields, in line with previously recorded trial data. Additional demonstrations for tomato and strawberries growers are scheduled to take place in Europe and Mexico in February, 2016.
BVT is in negotiation with several leading European and North American commercial bee suppliers which would enable these suppliers to deliver the BVT system to their existing client base and distribution channels consisting of global fruit and vegetable producers in over 40 countries around the world. BVT is also pursuing several further significant business development opportunities with EU and North American bio control providers.
Additional personnel have been appointed to quality control and production management positions at BVT's Mississauga laboratory and production facility. Bio Control products are currently being manufactured to meet an elevated demand from North American & the EU growers for demonstrations to be carried out during the spring and summer growing seasons.
"I am exceptionally pleased with the Company's progress and current execution of our established business plan. Industry interest and grower adoption of our unique system has escalated significantly in the past quarter and we are seeing very positive results, as expected, coming from current onsite demonstrations." said BVT CEO, Michael Collinson. "BVT is establishing itself as a legitimate market alternative for growers using chemical pesticides and feel that, with the field results we're seeing and the calibre of sophisticated organizations we are currently working with, we'll continue to elevate our industry profile and add to the strong interest we are already seeing from major growing countries such as Spain, Holland, Mexico and the US."
About Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc .
BVT has developed and owns patent-pending bee vectoring technology (consisting of a proprietary tray dispenser containing a unique carrier agent) that is designed to harmlessly utilize commercially reared bumblebees as natural delivery mechanisms for a variety of powdered mixtures comprised of organic compounds that inhibit or eliminate common crop diseases, while at the same time stimulating and enhancing the same crops. This unique and proprietary process facilitates a targeted delivery of crop controls using the simple process of bee pollination to replace traditional crop spraying, resulting in better yield, organic product and less impact on the environment without the use of water or disruptions to labour.
