I'm a 40 year old Jack Of All Trades, still trying to make a place for myself in the world. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold

Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled trials, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.

I understand he was everyone's childhood legend, but don't get too reverential about Norris. He might have done a lot of good, but he was also anti same-sex marriage and an Obama 'birther' conspiracy theoriest. No celebrity deserves a throne.
