Believe it or not, robotic bees already exist in Japan and,
if you use a robotic bee, it pollinates the flower in 53 out of
100 tries. So it won’t be bad but it will take time for the
robotic bee to pollinate the flowers. This all was done with
a remote control robotic bee so you can tell how hard it is.
It will take about another year or so to create an automatic
bee which can find flowers by itself and pollinate by itself.
While normal bees can pollinate 30% of the pollen there is,
robot bees can pollinate 41% of what is available. Even
though it takes lots of tries, it can still pollinate more than
the natural bee.
