>>>Imagine a device placed in bee hives that stimulates worker bees to
forage for pollen faster and more often, resulting in more pollination
events and greater crop yield.

I guess it's not really a device, but chemicals. Pheromones and plant
extracts that mimic them have been tried on bees for at least 15 years. I
wonder if anyone in this group has used them? Either as swarms lures,
attractants to plants, or even in the hive like they suggest. Just looking
for some first-hand info.
