"The problem is finding a manufacturer who can do it at a reasonable
cost." I do not know where you are looking to manufacture but perhaps
China, Taiwan or Vietnam could be good places to control the cost.
Cost really is the issue for you though if you are to offer your product
globally. A UK bee keeper has deep pockets compared with say a Thai bee
keeper but both would benefit from a trap that works.
"proven very effective in reducing populations of V. velutina " -- well
that has my attention since that is the main problem here. There are
other species here but not really a problem. V. velutina is quite
interesting to watch since hornets from different colonies seem to
compete for territory at a hive. They also may leave if they see that I
am present only to return ten minutes later.
"we will post news " -- soon I hope :)
