    Summary from the link:

    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.

      It just occurred to me that since this is labeled as a superfood, someone out there is going to start marketing and selling this yeast to humans. Learn the secret nutritional hack that saved the bees, and all of that bullshit.
