Abstract The purpose of my project was to find a way to perform pollination without bees. My project created a mechanical bee that copied how a bee transfers pollen from one plant to another. Due to declining bee populations this will help ensure that plants and animal species, including humans, that benefit from pollination will not be impacted.
