• lack of water

• human interference

• climate change

• natural predators

Traditional bee venom collection methods often result in

• increased honey production

• harm to the bee colony

• improved bee health

• higher quality venom

The Australian researcher focused on developing a method to collect bee venom that is

• faster

• cheaper

• more efficient

• less harmful to bees

The key innovation in the new venom collection method is

• using electric shock

• increases the amount of venom collected

• attracts more bees to the collection area

• is easy to clean and sterilize

Bee venom has shown potential in treating

• allergies

• arthritis

• dementia

• all of the above

The researcher's goal is to

• eliminate the use of bees in medicine

• increase honey production

• find a sustainable way to collect bee venom

• create a new breed of bee

Compared to traditional methods, the new venom collection method is likely to

• be more expensive

• produce less venom

• have a smaller environmental impact

• require more skilled labor

The overall tone of the passage is

• optimistic
