Researchers Develop a 'Superfood' for Honeybees to Fight the Drastic Decline of Their Colonies

Scientists Engineer Yeast to Create Honey Bee Superfood – Colonies Grew 15-Fold

A study team from Oxford University has identified a fermentation method that creates the perfect balanced diet for honey bees who can’t get enough natural pollen. Synthetic pollen substitutes are often fed to bees as a dietary supplement to natural pollen, but until now it’s been difficult to replicate the blend of lipids, called sterols, […] The post Scientists Engineer Yeast to Create Honey Bee Superfood – Colonies Grew 15-Fold appeared first…
