Great! They’ve solved the dying bee problem. :(Blowing bubbles: Soapy spheres pop pollen on fruit trees Japanese researchers have succeeded in fertilising pear trees using pollen carried on the thin film of a soap bubble.They’ve been searching for alternative approaches to pollination, because of the decline in the number of bees worldwide.When fired from a bubble gun, the delicate soapy spheres achieved a success rate of 95%.The researchers are now testing drones that fire bubbles for pollination. -- source link
