With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future could grow fruits and vegetables inside ...

Insect-pollinated plants use insects and other animals to carry their pollen grains to other plants. The vast majority of plants depend on animals to transfer the pollen for them. 'Insect ...

MIT's robotic insects, engineered for efficient pollination, aim to increase agricultural productivity and sustainability through advanced flight capabilities.

Other insect pollinators, like wasps and flies, are carnivores in the larval stage, so during that time they need to eat small arthropods—like spiders and centipedes—and insects. Beyond that ...

Move over bees, MIT researchers have developed a robot insect for artificial pollination to underpin an entirely indoor farm ...

Pollinators, including bees, butterflies, beetles, and certain birds, are essential for transferring pollen from one flower ...

Evaluate Insect Pressure With uneven maturity, insects might be present throughout ... But if the remaining 5,000 plants pollinate just 10 days later, and all 30,000 beetles migrate to them ...

A biologist explains what to focus on if you’re designing a garden with pollinators in mind − and what you don’t need to ...

Insects are found almost everywhere and in all environments. They inhabited the earth before the dinosaurs — and are still with us today! We know of about 1 million species, but biologists think there ...

Home gardens can provide vital habitat for Australian birds. But there's more to it than just planting certain types of ...
