I thought the reason they die was pollution. I'm confused at why some new nutrient would save them.

I expect there are dozens of different things that influence how well a hive does, some good, some bad. Maybe having better nutrition overpowers the effect of pesticides, varroa mites, etc.

I doubt such distilled diet would suffice/be benificial in the long run but maybe see it as rations whilst banning pesticide and create more diverse flora ecosystems. That might bee life-saving for mans best insect friend.
