California-based Beewise invented the BeeHome, a robotic, AI-directed beehive that growers can rent. Cameras connect with AI software that monitors each individual bee and identifies its needs. 40% of ...

The new concept of the robotic bee comes from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. In a laboratory, researchers are developing a robotic bees model that could be used to pollinate plants ...

Researchers at the Freie Universität Berlin have developed a robot that mimicks the dances of European honey bees. In this lab demonstration, a robotic arm controls the bee. Read more in "Attack of ...

Near Esparto, in the beautiful Capay Valley region of central California, 1,400 young almond trees flourish in a century-old orchard overlooking the hills. Since November, they've stood in perfect ...

As bee populations dwindle globally due to a myriad of factors such as climate change, pesticide use, and habitat loss, the need for innovative solutions to sustain vital pollination processes becomes ...

A bee-like robot currently under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is part of a new generation of bots inspired by creepy crawlies. The machine, which weighs less than a ...

Lifting up the hood of a Beewise hive feels more like you’re getting ready to examine the engine of a car than visit with a few thousand pollinators. The unit — dubbed a BeeHome — is an industrial ...

Bees, ants and termites don't need blueprints. They may have queens, but none of these species breed architects or construction managers. Each insect worker, or drone, simply responds to cues like ...
