This article also fits under the of applied science because it is basing its discovery off of past research and discoveries from bees to make robots to mimic what roles they do in the world. The relevance of robot bees in my everyday life is, at the moment, not important because there are still enough bees to continue their pollination role in the environment. But in the future they could be an essential part of my life as the bee species continue to die out, creating many issues other than just pollination of plants such as: plants not reproducing, an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and crops not growing. These robot bees could …show more content…
This controversy could be a big one as these robot bees become more of a reality because they would be self-controlled and could easily run into either a person unexpectedly causing injuries to both the person and the robot bee. I personally agree with this controversy because drone technology has not advance far enough for them to fly by themselves through highly inhabited areas without hitting a living organism. But once they are able to maneuver terrain without hitting moving organisms, I feel as if they could be one of next big inventions that keeps earth spinning for a little

    The main objective of the laboratory was to identity different species of honeybees based on their physical and genetic attributes. Due to the invasion of African honeybees in North America, hybridization has increased between African and European honeybees. The hypothesis is that the four unknown bees are hybridized with a European mother and an African father. The wing-lengths of European, African, and unknown bees were measured, and the mtDNA of eight different bees were subjected to gel electrophoresis. The results showed that African bees were small with one band of mtDNA, European bees were large with two bands of mtDNA, and the unknown bees were of various sizes with two bands of mtDNA.…
