'Scientists have developed a honeybee "superfood" that could protect the
animals against the threats of climate change and habitat loss.
Bee colonies that ate the supplement during trials had up to 15 times more baby
bees that grew to adulthood.
Honeybees are a vital part of food production and contribute to pollinating 70%
of leading global crops.
"This technological breakthrough provides all the nutrients bees need to
survive, meaning we can continue to feed them even when there's not enough
pollen," senior author Professor Geraldine Wright at the University of Oxford
told
BBC News.
"It really is a huge accomplishment," she says.'
