A third of all the food we eat depends on pollinators like honeybees, and they play an essential role in global food production, where 75%⁽³⁾ of commercially grown crops require pollination. Honeybees are already used to pollinate close to $20 billion⁽⁴⁾ worth of large-acre outdoor crops in the US. In California alone, there are almost a million acres of almond trees that rely on approximately a million honeybee hives every year. This new honeybee delivery system, along with BVT’s proprietary crop protection products, represents a significant market opportunity for the company with its own biological product and other partners.

BVT continues to pursue an aggressive IP strategy, with over 65 patents granted worldwide and over 35 pending, including the new honeybee system. Consisting of six patent families, the patents cover North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

"Secured patents safeguard the Company’s competitive advantage," continued Mr. Malik. "And since most companies prefer to work with proprietary and patent-protected technologies, they allow us to develop vital partnerships with those interested in introducing our system to growers worldwide, scaling our operations quickly and efficiently."
