摘要

Use of methyl myristate and ethyl myristate to increase foraging insect family Apidae.; In the present invention the use of a composition comprising methyl myristate and ethyl myristate to increase foraging a colony of insects family Apidae described. The mixture of these chemicals is applied to nests of bumblebees to stimulate foraging worker caste of the colony. The activity of foraging of the working multiply appreciably when the amounts of the two chemicals equivalent equalize larvae bumblebee or doubles, so that the dose to be applied corresponds to the amount that secrete 100 or 200 larvae bumblebee, respectively. This enhanced activity of worker bumblebees allows better pollination of crops at their disposal.
