*Monheim, November 16, 2010* – Bayer CropScience announced today that it has
acquired a product for the efficient control of varroa mites *(Varroa
destructor)* from Exosect Ltd., Winchester, United Kingdom. The market
launch of this new bee health product in the United States is planned for
2011. First registrations in major European countries are expected from 2012
onwards. The acquisition also enables Bayer CropScience to develop
innovative bee health solutions and to commercialize new bee health products
worldwide. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The product is based on the innovative Entostat™ technology, a food grade
powder refined from a natural wax which is sustainably harvested from a
particular species of palm tree, combined with the miticidal active
ingredient thymol. After being spread directly onto the top of the frames,
bees start to clean the powder out of the hive. It adheres to their bodies
via electrostatic attraction. As they move throughout the hive, the powder
is distributed to other bees and onto the framework of the hive, including
open brood cells.
