Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. announced South African multi-national agricultural technology business Microbial Biological Fertilizers International (MBFi) has commenced trials of BVT products in South Africa. They will be evaluating BVT's patented bee vectoring dispenser for honeybees with proprietary Vectorite powder, initially testing with MBFi's own biological strain as a comparison with traditional spray applications. MBFi manufactures agricultural products for the South African farming industry, supplying fertilizer, biostimulants, biologicals and adjuvants.

Trials are being conducted on grower crop fields including macadamias, avocados, apples, strawberries, blueberries and cherries, timed for the start of each crop's bloom period. MBFi will also extend the trials to include sunflowers and canola. In South Africa, macadamia, avocado, applies, strawberries, blueberries and cherry crops cover over 85,000 hectares of farmland, with sunflowers and canola adding another 520,000.
