Bees are being replaced by Drones

in #nature7 years ago

Due to the reducing population of Bee's around the world, Japanese scientists have decided to do something about it. They will not be saving Bee's, they have created electronic Bee's to take their place.

The tiny drones have the name of Robobee, and are being developed to pollinate crops that are not pollinated by Bee's.

The prototype above is being worked on to make it half the size and to be able to flap it's wings 120 times per second.

Swarms of the drones will use digital mapping to pollinate masses of crops to prevent world food shortages.

Studies are going on to find out why the Bee population is falling and the drones are a backup plan just in case the Bee population continues to fall.

The prototype drone above uses horsehair pads to help the pollen stick to it.

Natural bees still remain the best. We have enough bees here in my country, just in bush and they have enough power to produce enough honey naturally for us. Japanese should come here for help. Lol!

Yeah just help the bees.
