ROBOTIC BEES ARE NOW BEING BUILT TO POLLINATE CROPS INSTEAD OF REAL BEES

"Honeybees pollinate almost a third of the food we consume, but they’ve been dying at alarming rates due to threats like habitat loss and disease, as well as colony collapse disorder (CCD), the phenomenon where worker bees abandon their hives, leaving behind only the queen bee and enough food and nurse bees to help take care of the immature bees and the queen. There is also increasing evidence of a direct link between neonicotinoids, which are the most common type of insecticides, and CCD.
Then, last week, federal authorities placed seven yellow-faced bee species native to Hawaii on the Endangered Species Act."
It surprises me to think that science is not getting any smarter through experience of GMO products and the nasty chemical of glyphosate. Somehow the idea of not using GMO seeds and chemicals to solve world hunger has never occurred to some of the smartest scientist on the planet. Don't let your children go to college at the same institutions Monsanto and others pull from.
"But other scientists have taken different avenues for dealing with the crisis, using modern technology to replace living bees with robotic ones. Researchers at Harvard University introduced the first RoboBees back in 2013. Led by engineering professor Robert Wood, the team created bee-size robots that can lift off the ground and hover midair when connected to a power supply."
Connected to a power supply? Oh that is brilliant, pure genius.
