This is the B-Droid, a brand new quadcopter drone with a special extension which is designed to polinate flowers. That's right, the long, metal rod with a fluffy yellow fabric is designed to carry pollen and transfer it to blooming flowers in the spring in light of the world's declining bee population. Begun in 2012, the project is financed by the National Center for Research and Development in Poland. Scientists at the Warsaw University of Technology showcased their B-Droid drone prototype at their lab on Friday. As the name suggests, the B-Droid acts as an artificial honeybee which helps out in the pollination process. Scientists are able to control the drone remotely and can pilot the quadcopter to precisely deliver pollen to many different types of flowers. Various versions of the drones exist to pollinate different types of flowers with widely varying shapes and sizes. Scientists indicate the type of flower they want to pollinate and the B-Droid identifies the appropriate flowers in the field before transfering pollen to that particular species. Could this be the answer to declining bee populations?
