Drones are used for a wide range of purposes from photography to search and rescue.<br />Now, drones are being used to replace bees in pollinating crops.<br />Park Se-young has more. <br />Inside this greenhouse, a drone is hard at work.<br />The wind from the drone's blades shakes the strawberry plants' leaves and flowers, …delivering pollen from one plant to another just like bees do.<br /><br />"We're testing various flying altitudes to find the optimal method of artificial pollination."<br /><br />This allows for homogeneity in pollination and can reduce fruit deformation by over 30 percent.<br /><br />"Bee activity is low when it's cold and this reduces pollination. Instead of bees, drones can do the work."<br /><br />Hadong County in Gyeongsangnam-do Province will be the first in Korea to test out drone pollination at strawberry farms.<br />Park Se-young, Arirang News. <br />
