Here we are discussing about progress in robotic bee development, showcasing prototypes from universities like Washington State, METU, and MIT designed for tasks such as pollination and hive monitoring.
These advancements aim to support or understand bee populations using technologies like AI and advanced flight mechanics. However, the sources also emphasize the indispensable role of live bees in natural ecosystems and agriculture, noting their pollination efficiency, contribution to biodiversity, and economic value.
Ultimately, the conclusion is that robotic bees cannot fully replace live bees due to limitations in adaptability, environmental impact, and the complexity of natural ecological functions, suggesting robotics should serve as a complementary tool to bee conservation.
