Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a micro-flapping-wing robot that exhibits ...

The prototype, called the Bee++, can twist, fly in any direction and achieve the same 6 degrees of free movement that a typical insect can. The tiny robot has four wings made of carbon fiber and mylar ...

While honeybees are famously difficult to study, altering natural behaviors if any outside influences are sensed, they’re also incredibly susceptible to colony collapse due to the cold. If hive ...

(Nanowerk News) A robotic bee that can fly fully in all directions has been developed by Washington State University researchers. With four wings made out of carbon fiber and mylar as well as four ...

In North America alone, honeybees’ role in pollination enables the production of at least 90 commercially grown crops, including apples, blueberries, melons and broccoli. One student wanted more ...
