Acquisition Rumours

Claude Fluckinger, Director, Bee Vectoring Technologies International , who is also the head of global product biology for Syngenta AG’s lawn and garden division, says there is a precedent for a lucrative buyout, since most big chemical firms don’t do very much research in the field of biology and usually opt to buy up small firms.

Syngenta (Swiss-based fertilizer company recently offered US$46.5 billion in an August takeover bid by Monsanto). Monsanto has made an increased takeover offer to Syngenta AG, seeking to draw the Swiss pesticide producer to the negotiating table after its earlier approach was rejected.

What cannot be lost, from an investor's standpoint, is this: Companies such as Monsanto and Bayer are being blasted by many media and activist groups, and even boycotted by some consumers, for their use of controversial pesticides. To save the bees, it appears scientists must find a way to sustainably grow and control crop yields without the use of harmful pesticides. One small-cap company based in Ontario, Canada, which only this July went public, has developed and owns patent-pending bee vectoring technology (consisting of a proprietary tray dispenser containing a unique carrier agent). This is designed to harmlessly utilize commercially reared bumblebees as natural delivery mechanisms, without water, for a variety of powdered mixtures comprised of organic compounds that inhibit or eliminate common crop diseases, while at the same time stimulating and enhancing the same crops. This unique and proprietary process facilitates a targeted delivery of crop controls using the simple process of bee pollination to replace traditional crop spraying, resulting in better yield, organic product and less impact on the environment without the use of water or disruptions to labour.
