When beekeepers take out honey to sell, or, increasingly, when there isn't enough pollen available, they give the insects supplementary food.

But that food is made up of protein flour, sugar and water, and has always lacked the nutrients bees require. It is like humans eating a diet without carbohydrates, amino acids, or other vital nutrients.

This is such dystopia stuff. We've solved the fact that we were killing the bees by stealing their honey and replacing it with sugar water(while trucking them from the south to their California Central valley almond crop monocultures and hoping they'll survive on that sugar water) with this "super food" that actually contains proteins required for life. I understand I'm not supposed to be a downer on uplifting news but this so very much does not uplift me.

We should spend more time figuring out how to make honey ourselves.

There's a company already doing it.
