The only concern is what it could do to the bee population.

On top of the locusts in East Africa and Asia, and everything else, we could be in for a rough ride.

I was thinking about that last night.

There are lots of pollinators besides the communal bees; but the latter are essential to many of our food plants. When we were going through the worst of colony collapse, I wondered if anyone was studying the idea of some kind of technology to help pollinate the bee-assisted plants. (I was imagining little, delicately operating robots or drones :-)

This is an interesting article:
