## Caption

Plan Bee is a robotic pollination concept designed to mimic how bees transfer pollen between flowers. It was created as a prototype to explore how technology might help address pollination challenges if bee populations continue to decline. The tiny drone uses horsehair bristles coated with a sticky ionic gel to pick up and deposit pollen, imitating one of the most important ecological services that bees provide.

Plan Bee was never intended to replace real bees. Natural pollinators are vastly more efficient, sustainable, and essential for ecosystems. Projects like this are better understood as emergency backups and research tools rather than substitutes for protecting bee populations.
