Could spiders be the key to saving our bees?

Summary:
A novel bio-pesticide created using spider venom and a
plant protein has been found to be safe for honeybees -
despite being highly toxic to a number of key insect
pests. New research has tested the insect-specific
Hv1a/GNA fusion protein bio-pesticide -- a combination of
a natural toxin from the venom of an Australian funnel web
spider and snowdrop lectin.
