For the first time in several years, I've seen honeybees visiting my flowers. This makes me happy and optimistic that things may not be as dire as reported. My dad kept several hives when I was young, and I've since had an interest in them. Marvelous creatures. What's the time frame for developing bee bots?




These insects are also interesting for being equipped with an advanced version of google maps allowing for their tiny brain: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetec...
If bees population dwindles we might as well start with bee-bots for pollination rather than with other bots that we discussed elsewhere.
Since pesticides damage their navigation and they forget their way home, maybe we should put more road signs? -:) What do you think?
