Bee Scent
Attracts honey bees for improved crop pollination! Bee-Scent Attractant is a pheromone-based liquid formulation containing attractants that can direct honey bees to treated blossoms for improved crop pollination. Bee-Scent's chemistry includes pheromones which encourage the specific behavior of foraging in honey bees. By attracting and concentrating bee foraging, pollen transfer can be increased. Greater yields and improved quality are the typical benefits of more thorough honey bee pollination.
Bee-Scent is completely non-toxic so it is exempt from state and federal regulations. It is considered environmentally sound for applicators, crops and honey bees alike.
Once applied, Bee-Scent will remain active for three to five days under favorable weather conditions. It also can help "save" a crop threatened by poor weather conditions which shorten the time when bees can be actively foraging. Additionally, the initial attractant will establish foraging patterns that continue the pollination process.
Studies show a 59% increase in fruit set while using Bee Scent. Apply first treatment at early bloom (5 to 30%). A second application 5 to 8 days later (70-100% bloom) is recommended. 8 oz. treats 5,000 sq. ft.
