Researchers at MIT have created a group of robotic insects that they hope to be able to use as a swarm of pollinators in the ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

artificial pollination by hand by humans is necessary, and the idea of using insect-sized drones for this artificial pollination has been proposed. However, the insect-sized drones developed so ...

researchers from Tokyo’s National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology have turned tiny drones into artificial pollinators. The pint-sized drones are equipped with a special gel on their ...

The idea of robots as pollen carriers is not entirely new. The robots reportedly developed earlier were not durable and ...

While honey producers and beekeepers have ways to treat varroa-infested hives, the bees themselves also have a few tricks up their sleeve.

Tasmania’s largest bee pollinator is accelerating the adoption of new technology to safeguard hives from future disease outbreaks. The initiative includes the introduction of artificial insemination ...
