Thumbnails and research

I researched articles on bees and there was many on one serious issue.Many bees are dieing  from pestisites and other unnatural processes. They are now trying to develop mecanical bees to polinate the flowers before the bees deteriorate further. I decided to base my project on mecanical bees with a natural background or a natural bee with a chemical background.
