>providing to a pollinator a modified bacteria of a species normally found in the gut microbiome of the pollinator, said modified bacteria being adapted to degrade a neonicotinoid pesticide, wherein the modified bacteria have genes involved in the degradation of neonicotinoid pesticides.


Interesting topic and I wonder if the modified bacteria would drift from the pollinators needing protection to those targeted for killing. Also, might mean that the honey bee becomes a GMO. 



I read a similar advertisement about an effort out of BC called PROBEEOTICS maybe it's the same folks.
