Mississauga, Ontario and Sacramento, California--(Newsfile Corp. - February 20, 2020) - Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. (TSXV: BEE) (OTCQB: BEVVF) (the "Company" or "BVT") today announced it has been named a 2020 Venture 50 company, an award that recognizes the 50 top-performing companies out of a total of 1,673 companies on TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV). BVT joins an exclusive group of high-performing industry leaders and is ranked third in the Clean Technology and Life Sciences sector.

"Being part of this remarkable group confirms BVT's role as a major disruptor in the $240 billion1 crop protection and fertilizer market," says Ashish Malik, CEO of Bee Vectoring Technologies. "Last year, BVT transitioned from an R&D company to a commercial enterprise, with our recent US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval making that evolution possible. Our 2020 focus is on building out the company as a global agri-tech business with a unique product that will make a huge impact on sustainable food production. We'll continue to accelerate our commercial operations in the US, plan to launch in Mexico, and progress our EU submission for regulatory approval."
