This is both great and terrible. Great because "yay bees", terrible because now they have a synthetic stand in for a natural process which will almost certainly be misused
Instead of just PLANTING SOME FUCKING FLOWERS
In a couple years we'll be saying honey "doesn't taste like it used to"
Well, domestic bees are intrusive. I wonder if they are going to try to feed this to wild bees... Probably not. Still, I want domestic bees to flourish, because I like honey, so I'm not that mad.
But what flowers do we let growth that will make money ?
Its simple economics. No matter how beneficial it is to the environment, people, or the economy, its bad for the economy to do anything without a direct profit motive
