Hello bee folks, Michael Simics is researching bee venom collector devices for an upcoming book. He would like to be in contact with anyone who invented and/or tested devices developed in Czechoslovakia between 1952 and 1954. These devices use the electric shock method. He would particularly like to contact Mr. Joseph Orovec who applied for a patent in 1952 for his bee venom collector. He would also like to get in touch with Messrs. O. Markovic and L. Molnar who tested and perfected the first bee venom collector device using the electric shock method. They published an article about their invention in 1954. If you have any information that can help Michael with his quest please contact him at: #204, 1331 - 15th Ave.S.W. Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
