As leaders in the evolution of agricultural environmental science, we are committed to sustainability every step of the way. We recognize the critical role that honey bees play as pollinators for key crops like almonds and pistachios, and we’re thrilled to be part of the solution in protecting them.
Vestaron’s revolutionary peptide-empowered technology works in collaboration with nature. We target invasive pests while leaving bees, farm workers, mammals, fish and beneficial insects unharmed.
We are proud to announce our collaboration with Bee Friendly Farming (BFF), a program that protects, promotes and preserves bee health on farmland across North America.
We have committed $30,000 to Bee Friendly Farming to help expand certification to more farmers who depend on bees for a healthy crop each year.
“For farmers, it’s critical to maintain the delicate balance between healthy, highly productive crops and the health of pollinators and natural enemies of pests. Examining your pest control strategy and utilizing products like Spear® that target pests without harming bees is a significant step you can take now toward achieving that ideal balance.”
– Ben Cicora, SVP Sales & Marketing at Vestaron
Farms can become certified through implementing a variety of bee-friendly practices, including:
- Offering nutrition for bees
- Providing permanent habitat for nesting
- Adopting integrated pest management (IPM) practices
