## Resource

A scientist from the cannabis world stumbles onto a bee-saving breakthrough: a hop extract that kills mites and fights bacteria, inspired by a photo of a movie star covered in bees. Now branded as ApiSave, it’s being rolled into pollen patties to help honeybees survive devastating diseases and colony losses—up to 60% in the U.S., and similarly grim in Canada. With Health Canada approval, 10,000 patties sold, and $400,000 in revenue, this plant-based solution is gaining traction as a vital tool against drug-resistant threats. Backed by $2 million in funding and eyeing expansion into Australia, ApiSave aims to give bees a fighting chance—with nature’s own defense.
