BEE bot

Harvard engineers have unveiled a teeny-tiny bee bot, allegedly the smallest flying robot ever made.

In the UK, researchers are working on an autonomous bee with a more structured goal. They want to map the honeybee brain so they can completely synthesize bee behavior — and keep the world’s food chain intact.
