At their Jan. 29, 2008  PAm was pleased Dr. Eischen could prepare the proposal and plan to implement this study within days of the request by PAm's board, thus underscoring PAm's commitment to  efficiency and proactive efforts to find solutions and answers to beekeepers concerns in a timely manner.  This objective, third-party test of SuperBoost will answer for beekeepers just how well the use of a brood pheromone serves to increase pollen foraging.  Treatments include both large- and small-sized colonies as well as packaged bees.  Results will be posted to PAm's website. Board meeting, PAm's board of directors approved a proposal by Dr. Frank Eischen, USDA-ARS, Weslaco, TX, to test SuperBoost, Pherotech's brood pheromone in honey bee colonies in almond orchards this pollination season.
