Dystopia
According to a United Nations report in 2011, bee mortality has reached 10 to 30% of the population in recent years in Europe, 30% in the United States and more than 85% in the Middle East. Imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam, these three molecules called “neonicotinoids” used in large crops persist for a long time in the environment. Among others, these pesticides represent the major cause of the disappearance of bees... and beekeepers. In May 2013, the European Commission painfully took the decision to suspend these three products after tough negotiations with the chemical industry. The latter, led by Syngenta and Bayer, has already challenged this decision before the Court of Justice. European. At the same time, applied research promises us artificial insects to pollinate crops. Why not robots?
