Scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers provided bees with a nutritionally complete diet that boosted reproduction up to 15-fold. Unlike commercial substitutes that lack key nutrients, this supplement mimics natural pollen’s sterol profile, giving bees the equivalent of a balanced diet.
Uhh m not crazy right, that’s the same thing?
I’m with you, it’s confusing. But I think what it means is this:
The study ran for 90 days. Non-sterol bees had stopped doing bee sex by then. Sterol bees were doin it all the way up to the end of the 90 days - and then the study ended. We can therefore assume they wanted to continue having freaky beedsm sex for even longer.
one group continued to the end of the study period, the other group had stopped by the same time
or, one group stopped doing a thing, and the other group didn’t show signs of stopping
Some were observed brooding for up to 12 weeks!
Amateurs, I’ve been brooding for years!
Gotta be AI bullshit. But I’m reading it as, group A never stopped while group B stopped breeding at the end of the period.
Why in hell is poorly written text “AI bullshit” now? An LLM would probably write that in a clearer way.
Were articles irreprehensibly written up to 3 years ago?
Fuckin old men of Restelo!
For me it’s because the study is dated August 2025. Everything after November 2022 is suspect.
