Scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers provided bees with a nutritionally complete diet that boosted reproduction up to 15-fold. Unlike commercial substitutes that lack key nutrients, this supplement mimics natural pollen’s sterol profile, giving bees the equivalent of a balanced diet.
Lol wut. Most honey today means killing all the bees every season and buying a new batch from the breeders the next season.
They don’t “take care” of the bees any more than a butcher “takes care” of their pigs
