Description
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that the bee is being threatened by a number of factors such as global warming, pesticides and yes, murder hornets.
While that presents a challenge to the $7 billion honey industry, the focus on honey production is problematic for the bee ecosystem itself as farmed bees compete with wild bees for food and ultimately can hurt biodiversity.
Because of this, Darko Mandich wants to create honey without the honeybee using cutting edge bioengineering techniques through the process of fermentation. His company, MeliBio, has already received commitments from over a dozen companies around the world to use his honey. via Knit
