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 overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.

Using CRISPR-Cas9, scientists engineered a yeast to produce the nutrient feed. Farmers could have it in two years.

    It’s a bit extreme, but I say we kill all billionaires and then fairly redistribute their cash and see what happens.
    If there’s no real change in greed then kill the top 0.1% of wealth hoarders and see what happens.

    At some point the greed will have to stop.
