"
Now Walmart wants to get in on the act of giving bees a helping hand while investing in advanced robotics.
Walmart filed a patent in March for autonomous robot bees that can pollinate like their real insect counterparts. Tiny cameras on the robots -- also called pollination drones -- not only detect and spot the locations of the crops that need pollinating, but the sensitive sensors on the drones will assure that successful pollination occurs.
Five other patents were also filed that same month by Walmart for additional farming drones, including one drone that monitors the ongoing health of various crops and another that can hunt down plant pests, hopefully erasing the need for use of harmful pesticides that endanger bees in the first place.

But the big question is Do they sting?

buzzzzzzzzzzzz off no seriously i think it's a good thing, people have no idea how important bees/pollination are.

This is a very strange world.
Pesticides kill the bees and what they do?
They invent robot bees, well problem solved? Come on!

True, why not get rid of the pesticides then the beautiful bee nation can do what they are supposed to in peace and without fear of "bee" - ing overtaken by an "droid"bees.

And unfortunately, pesticides do not kill only the bees but the long terms effects will be harmful also for us.
Who makes profit with pesticides can worry about our health?
Sorry I'm going off topic....

Here is a video from a group that believes this technology is promising but could also pose problems.

I watched that recently Bryan and it is quite alarming.
