Title: Innovations of Robert E Page, Jr.
Introduction
Robert E Page, Jr. is a notable inventor based in Davis, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of entomology, particularly in enhancing bee foraging behavior through innovative methods.
Latest Patents
Robert E Page, Jr. holds a patent for a synthetic bee pollen foraging pheromone and its uses. This invention describes a method for increasing pollen foraging activity in colonies of bees by applying a synthetic brood pheromone to the colony. The synthetic brood pheromone may include various esters such as methyl palmitate, ethyl palmitate, methyl stearate, ethyl stearate, methyl oleate, ethyl oleate, methyl linoleate, ethyl linoleate, methyl linolenate, and ethyl linolenate. Exposure to this synthetic brood pheromone increases the proportion of pollen foragers within the colony. Additionally, the invention provides a pollination unit that consists of a collection of bees and the synthetic brood pheromone, along with a device capable of releasing the brood pheromone in a controlled manner within the colony. He has 1 patent to his name.
