Globally, the excess mortality of bees and their total disappearance in certain regions, due to the massive use of pesticides in crops or the use of genetically modified seeds, requires to organize a human pollination and to develop mechanized technology of pollination. Researchers are trying to develop an electronic successor to the bee.

The temporary showroom located in the Bazaar would raise the prospect of this nano-technological transition by inviting to a playful introduction to the steering of a drone bee.

In addition to the demonstration of flight will be offered tastings of products related to pollination (apples, honey...) as well as an invitation to go on the page of the KissKissBankBank website in order to contribute to fund my trip to the province of Sichuan, on the lands of the human pollination.
