Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15fold
Mar 26, 2026
Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled trials, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and ov
