I had read about the company Beemunity a while back. https://scitechdaily.com/beemmunity-pollen-sized-technology-protects-bees-from-deadly-insecticides/ https://scitechdaily.com/beemmunity-pollen-sized-technology-...
> An early version of the technology – which detoxified a widely-used group of insecticides called organophosphates – is described in a new study, “Pollen-Inspired Enzymatic Microparticles to Reduce Organophosphate Toxicity in Managed Pollinators,” published on May 20, 2021, in Nature Food. The antidote delivery method has now been adapted to effectively protect bees from all insecticides, and has inspired a new company, Beemmunity, based in New York state.
The company (I think it's the same company) currently makes flower pots to attract and feed native bees, and they make food bricks that help boost bee immunity and robustness. Still a small company, and frequently out of stock.
