Washington State University working with dr. Steve Sheppard and and Brandon Hopkins and we started doing a series of experiments by feeding extracts of the mycelium to bees at different concentrations this is called a stress test they're in captivity they only live 30 days when the worker bees fly out and they're doing a pollination if they don't come back nurse bees are prematurely recruited to become worker bees and they fly out they abandon the brood so it's a doubling down every time the fewer and fewer worker bees come back nurse bees now
