Did anyone watch Black Mirrors? There was one story about robotic bees........scary

It all sounds very Si Fi surely the money would be better spent trying to make sure bees never die out.

I'd prefer to see a real Bee any day (although I wouldn't have to worry about my anaphylaxis with robotic Bees).

I missed that Pam.

They key is to make sure that bees, and other pollinators, don't die out. They know what the issues are and how to address them so no excuses really and i wouldn't like to see a robotic anything take over from a live, native insect....if this happens it means we have lost.
