Um, isn't this like majorly good news? Like maybe among our most important discoveries?
The whole "save the bees" thing is about wild bees, not domesticated ones I think
This isn't true. Colony collapse disorder has been a big problem for beekeepers.
Though interesting they've been staving it off rather directly; you have millions of colonies die, but you can breed millions more per year to keep the population stable. It is more expensive, and a bit dark for the bees.
