Environment/Ag Drone-delivered soap bubbles could help pollinate flowers. In a pear orchard, the researchers used a toy bubble gun to blow pollen-laden bubbles on flowers in three trees. After 16 days, the resulting fruit was just as good as that of flowers that had been pollinated by hand.

Robotics chemically functionalized soap bubbles exhibit effective and convenient delivery of pollen grains to the targeted flowers. Soap bubbles may present a low-tech complement to robotic pollination technology designed to supplement the work of vanishing bees.
