Sorta. If you're a beekeeper I can see this being a major deal. Not clear on how hard this yeast is to grow or how well the process scales.

Bees got a threefold problem, and we need to get at the roots of the issue.

• Pesticides and herbicides. Won't happen, but governments need to ban these products for consumers, restrict them to professionals. Karen and Ken don't need a perfect lawn sacrificing the bottom of the food chain.

• We need to grow more, and more indigenous, plants of all kinds. Working on it in my yard, doing well so far. Last year the bumblebees were so loud I thought it was construction on the next block over. :)

• Verona mites are a monster issue. They came to America in the 90s and are whipping our ass. Haven't looked into beekeeping for awhile, not sure where we're at with that.

Good for bee keepers, but most plants are pollinated by wild bees. So this could help, but doesn't really change much in the grand scheme.

The whole "save the bees" thing is about wild bees, not domesticated ones I think

Yes. Very good news.
