THIS IS DANGEROUS:
In other words, government is NOT going to be bothered by trying to prevent their EXTINCTION - capitalism found a solution and what’s more go ahead and apply pesticides freely because it won’t harm the robots:
Terrifyingly Robots are replacing bumblebees as a more efficient and reliable way of pollinating crops.
Arugga, a startup based in Israel, is, for the first time, commercializing robots that mimic the buzzing of a bumblebee.
Tests in commercial greenhouses in Israel, Australia and the United States, show tomatoes pollinated by Polly had yields up to five per cent higher than those pollinated by bumblebees in the traditional way, and up to 20 per cent higher than manual pollination.
The company says its robots could entirely replace bumblebees, which are vital for the production of tomatoes, blueberries, potatoes and many other crops.
The Polly is an autonomous ground robot that drives down rows of tomato plants in greenhouses, capturing images of every flower, and using artificial intelligence to detect which ones are ready to be pollinated.
It then shoots out air pulses to replicate buzz pollination, the delicate process in which bumblebees vibrate the middle of their bodies hundreds of times a second to release the pollen and fertilize the flower. It works for tomatoes and other crops which contain both male and female parts.
Over the next year, Arugga aims to deploy its robots over several hundreds hectares, especially in North America, but also in Europe and Australia.

Conservative State level governments in America are committing Ecocide against the entire planet. If they enter your country they should be arrested without hesitation and shipped to the Hague for prosecution and sentencing:

America is also welching on its climate funding obligations. Again, America is hands down the largest GHG emitter to date. Just because China recorded a year that exceed America doesn’t mean they are the worst (America doesn’t count emissions from war):
