Comment on MIT builds swarms of tiny robotic insect drones that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs

The MIT engineers agree. They said something to the effect of “If you could make a robotic bee, it wouldn’t replace bees. It would be a terrible idea to try to use them for pollination… Just put that same amount of finding into conservation and researching bees, you would have a much better result.”
