Green Scene: Robot bees!

The Pat Kenny Show Highlights

When you think of an octopus, you might picture it swimming alone, however scientists think these animals could be more social than we thought. A new study has found that octopuses sometimes team up with groups of fish in order to hunt together.

Meanwhile, bees play a critical role in agriculture, helping to pollinate some 35 percent of the world’s food crops. But with habitat loss, climate change, pesticides and other factors threatening bee populations, in recent years, scientists have been turning to robot bees. All to discuss with Dr Ruth Freeman Director, Research Ireland.
