It speaks bees' language.

That's alittle too weird for me. I wouldn't want to see that robot walking down the road at night. You can't even knock it off it's feet.

If it did fall over, don't tell me it can get back up on it's feet.....LOL If it did get back up we'd have break out the equalizers... :-D

Amazing technology though...alot better than the Japanese robot that can climb stairs.

This may carry whole bee yard - I hope so. It may be good on bear area.

I could actually see this working for apiaries in bear country. IF, the robot can wrestle bears and come in a solar powered models where can I get one? :)

how cool. i can think of a lot of uses for that. now if they could make it quiet.....

i'd change the pants too.....maybe strips or florescent yellow......

maybe a little straw hat....

and keep it out of the stallion pasture..... :evil:

That is too weird. They both look like something from War of the World.

Imagine how much one would cost!!

Holy smoke!! Now that has gotta be one of the weirdest contraptions I have ever seen. I watched it a couple of times, then it started to scare me, so I got out of the site. I didn't like its bees' language, it was scarey too. Great day. Cindi

Put and head and tail on it and it would lookk just like most 4 legged animals. Walks the same too.
