Synthetic Pollenizer uses 3D-printed robotic flowers to help save bees

Over the last 20 years we’ve seen a dramatic decline in bee populations. Brisbane-based artist Michael Candy has proposed a solution– the Synthetic Pollenizer project– that combines artificial pollination with 3D printing. The Synthetic Pollenizer is a conceptual project that uses a system of robotic flowers safe for bees to pollinate compared to real plants. The robotic petals can stand alongside real plants and feature pollen, nectar and a synthetic stamen. "It has taken...
