Using Technology to Pollinate Plants Due to Declining Bee Numbers

As a result of the changing environment, bee populations have been declining. This has had an effect on farming, as many crops rely on bees as their main pollinator, leading to a decrease in the amount of crops farms can produce.

A technology company in Israel has created technology that can pollinate certain plants by imitating the vibrations bees make when pollinating plants. This technology not only helps farmers when bee populations are low to produce the same yield of crops but may help to limit the pressure and impact of humans on the populations of bees.
