Washington State University reports that scientists have developed a food block for honey bees that can sustain a colony without access to pollen. They compare the product to a livestock feed and say it can help reduce bees’ vulnerability to colony collapse by addressing the problem of feed shortages in their environment. The bee feed combines isofucosterol, a molecule found naturally in pollen, with other nutrients necessary for honey bees.
