Walmart has a patent for robotic
beeshttps://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-robot-bees-farming-patent-2018-3The
idea is to replace real bees by artificial ones if all insects have died
because of pesticides and
chemicals.https://news.mit.edu/2025/fast-agile-robotic-insect-could-someday-aid-mechanical-pollination-0115It
will not work because the natural bees get their energy from the honey they
collect. Artificial bees can't do that. They would need far too much energy to
be efficient and they would pollute the environment if they have reached their
end of life because they are not made of sustainable material which can be
recycled.-J.

a good SciFi novel like Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age. A world where stuff is
essentially 'free' because of nano-tech, but social stratification persists and
new interesting problems arise. Not an argument against Jochen's technological
optimism, but a caution that the issues are more complicated than many assume.>
