Many plants rely almost entirely on bees as natural pollinators, but bee species have been significantly declining. In a world without any or enough bees, it may be possible to pollinate fruit-bearing plants using soap bubbles, according to a new study.
Many plants rely almost entirely on bees as natural pollinators to produce some of nature's most nutritious foods, but bee species have been significantly declining in recent decades. That could be due to pesticides, parasites, competition with other insect species, climate change, plant loss and a mismatch between the plants available and those that bee species enjoy.
"The drone experimentTo create a robotic pollinator, researchers combined an automatic bubble maker that produced about 5,000 bubbles per minute with an autonomous, GPS-controlled drone. Bubbles were shot onto fake lilies from a height of about 6 feet. But the bubbles propelled in clusters, and the impact from the wind destroyed the bubbles once they hit the flowers.
