The robo-bees are coming...

Has anybody watched the episode of Black Mirror about robo-bees? It looks like they are buzzing into reality. It seems like it would be a much better idea to figure out why bee populations are collapsing and how to stop that from happening...

As bee populations dwindle, robot bees may pick up some of their pollination slack

I read the article, robo-bees are not coming in the near future, I expect more research as a result of this report but it will take years to get a practical robo-bee.

Hopefully in that time we'll figure out how to maintain real bee populations so that robo-bees won't be necessary.
