First step is to figure out what you want it to do (if you want it to actually fly by flapping its wings – there’s not procedure out there). If you want it to fly and “look like” a bee, there are R/C airplane kits like that. If it’s intended to stay on the ground and slowly move parts, you need to check out the lesson “Making sense of actuators” to figure out what you need.

I would like to start laerning about robotics and am horribly uneducated. How can I learn to make a giant four foot long robot bee. Someone e mail me about the learning process. Don’t know where to start.

What a wonderful thing you are doing for the technological growth and advancement of this type of technology. As a beekeeper, a robtic Queen bee needs to be designed capable of bringing swarms out of hives in buildings into a super.

Think about it…
Would be a great project and would render great help in such cases. And save home owners alot of money for damages to remove bees otherwise without pesticides. We are trying to save our bees. Pesticides and the general public are not bee friendly. But, unfortunately the general public does not understand, “Kill the bees and food production goes way down”
