Spring in 2019 is not the riot of colour it used to be. The honeybee is now
officially extinct. Farmer Sam Clark struggles to raise a crop worth a damn.
But man has adapted. Every spring an army of migrant workers, led by foreman
Amra Walczak, descends on Sam's farm to pollinate by hand. It is a laborious
process but it works. This spring, however, science offers a new solution,
Honeybots, tiny robots that are effectively crawling bees, and Sam's put his
farm forward for a trial.
Once released, thousands of Honeybots course through the fields, pollinating
the flowers in a fraction of the time it takes Amra and her team. Their job
done they return automatically to their hive chest. They are quick and
efficient.
That evening, however, dead birds and mice are found in the fields the
Honeybots have worked...
