There was a link on HN a few months ago discussing a new strain of bees [0] being bred up in Canada that are supposedly much more resistant to some of the mites and diseases that are commonly affecting hives. As far as pesticides go, though, I'd imagine that it's going to be pretty hard to develop an insect that isn't affected by chemicals carefully engineered to affect insects; we're going to have to shift away from using these sorts of treatments, neonicotinoids especially, in our agriculture.
