"If we carry on with chemically intensive agriculture model, it is quite possible that we may affect our pollinating insects to such a degree that we reach a global "pollination crisis".
This is the imaginary future we do not want. This future where bees and the biodiversity they help maintain, have finally fallen victim to chemically intensive industrial agriculture."

But will they make honey?
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Who knows what other things bees can do that robots can't? We don't know everything! It could be dangerous.
DeleteSave us, robot bees!
ReplyDeleteWe should work on saving real bees, not making them extinct.
DeleteInteresting technology, but so far they are not replacing natural bees.
ReplyDeleteI hope they never replace real bees.
DeleteI can't imagine a world without real bees. That would be sad.
ReplyDeleteFake bees will just not be the same as the real thing.
DeleteEasy, robot fly spray and robot fly traps... wait a minute
