Robo Bees - Robotic Bees

I saw this on You Tube today. First it looked like an educational video but then almost appeared to be an SNL short (at least I was hoping).. Turns out its a hypothetical shock video produced by greenpeace (to warn people of the dangers of Monsanto, Dow, DuPont, etc)

Anyways, it was interesting to watch if you hadn't read the video "about" yet. LOL

I never thought that I would ever agree with anything that green peace put out.
Oh well, I will get over it. :-D

Scary. Too good to be true, especially the spraying of their enemies. Wonder how many drones or other bees will die from them. Robot Bees may be a good idea though.

I got to thinking, with all the technology, they probably could program them to differentiate between good and bad insects.

I would think the Giants would find a far more economical and practical way to cross pollinate their products. Green Peace has always been over the top. This is no different. G :chop:

and we won't think twice about it when we see one recharging outside our window.

I know there have been a lot of people say, "that could never work", in the past about several invention ideas. I am not a "the world is flat" kind of person. But some things are out of our capabilities. If this video was made to help bees, I believe it went the wrong way. People will assume, they don't need to worry about bees because these are here now. Sorry, but we won't see a lot of things that they say are coming and even here today, for instance, cloning animals. We all heard about this great thing that happened years ago about an animal that was cloned. What do you hear now about it? One of the great lies for more funding?
