Early results from NRCS research (for the ApiSave product) indicate a potential solution for these (bee health) problems. The Canadian Honey Council wholeheartedly endorses any support to expedite and enhance its research capabilities. Our industry needs a quick solution to an urgent problem, and any step toward improved hive management cannot come too soon.

We have been made aware of the potential project currently being conducted or proposed by Nature Recombined Sciences Inc. Honey bees are vital to many of the crops in our industry and thus honey bee health is vital. Without these bees our diverse range of crops would not thrive. Our crops are critically dependent on the vital role bees play in the production of safe, nutritious crops.

The Alberta Beekeepers Commission see this work as critical to the to the longer-term health of honey bees and the sustainability of Alberta’s commercial beekeeping industry. In addition these extracts will counter the growing resistance shown by pathogens and will not harm adult honey bees, the honey they produce or the environment they occupy.

American and European foulbrood infections threatens the sustainability and profitability of beekeeping in Canada, and I am excited to support Nature Recombined Sciences and Chinook Contract Research in pursuing alternatives to control the spread of these bacterial diseases.

ApiSave, the product proposed by Nature Recombined Sciences Inc., is a potential solution to the pathogens challenging the beekeeping industry. On Behalf of the British Columbia Blueberry council, I would like to express support in principle for testing of ApiSave against bee pathogens. Based on the importance of honey bees to the blueberry production system, we see the potential benefits of an effective pathogen control product as an important opportunity for our sector.

The KRTP has conducted independent research trials of a Nature Recombined Sciences Inc. plant-based extract to test its protection of honey bees from harmful pathogens and parasites, primarily the American and European Foul Brood. In early stage, independent testing conducted by the KRTP Tech program, this NRCS plant-based extract has shown great success against these microorganisms, as well as against the varroa mite.

In the past year, 60% of the colonies in Manitoba have died. The number one cause of this mortality is pests and disease. This has led to a reduction in products produced and decreased pollination provided. To help ensure the sustainability of this industry, provincially and nationally, it is vital that new pest and disease control measures are developed and brought online for beekeeper use. Nature Recombined Sciences Inc. (NRCS) has done preliminary work on their product for parasitic mite (Varroa destructor), American foulbrood (Paenibacillus larvae) and European foulbrood (Melissococcus plutonius) control and eradication. These results are encouraging. Their work will have the potential to be a valuable product for the beekeeping industry.

ApiSave, the product proposed by Nature Recombined Sciences Inc., represents a potential solution to a pending global disaster.
Alberta Canola will follow the company’s progress as a stakeholder in the health and survival of honeybee colonies all across Alberta.
