MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – April 28, 2016) – Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. (the “Company” or “BVT”) (TSX VENTURE:BEE) announces the allowance of the following patent applications:

• Canadian Patent application No. 2832518, and Russian Patent Application No. 2013149575, both entitled “Bee Vectoring Apparatus”, being the BVT Dispenser System noted in (1) below.
• Australian Patent Application No. 2013232699, entitled “A Formulation Comprising A Particulate Calcium Silicate and Clonostachys Rosea For Treating Plants”, being Vectorite noted in (2) below.

These patent applications are part of a portfolio of over 40 applications worldwide that cover various aspects of BVT’s key technologies. BVT describes its key technologies as including (1) the BVT Dispenser System; (2) the Vectorite™ brand composition; and (3) the active ingredient CR-7:

(1) The BVT Dispenser System is an apparatus for the treatment of plants that includes an inoculum dispenser and a tray. The BVT inoculum dispenser system is incorporated into the lid of commercial bumblebee hives. In the dispenser is a removable tray that contains, in powder form, the inoculant crop control and a mixture of products (Vectorite™ brand composition) that allows the bees to effectively pick up the product on their way out of the hive.

(2) Vectorite™ brand composition is a proprietary mixture of products that allows the inoculant to attach to a bee’s hairy legs and body as it walks through the tray on its way out of the hive. Vectorite™ brand composition allows for delivery of BVT inoculums, either individually, or together with other bio-controls and crop controls.

(3) CR-7 is a specific strain of Fungi from the genus Clonostachys Rosea which is known to be an endophyte and blocks pathogens from rapid colonization of plants. The mode of action of the Fungi, which is one of a pioneer coloniser and occupier, is to stimulate growth and block diseases such as Botrytis and Sclerotinia. When used as a foundational program in high value crops it is effective in controlling key diseases that can cause enormous commercial losses in crops.

BVT CEO, Michael Collinson said “These latest patent application allowances not only further strengthen BVT’s IP portfolio, but come in key territories where we believe there are considerable revenue-generating opportunities. We continue to clearly execute on our established business plan and keenly pursue a significant number of revenue-generating business opportunities across several global territories.”

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.
