Black Mirror is a British sci-fi TV series that explores some nightmarish consequences of new technologies. In the season 3 episode “Hated in the Nation,” humans have curbed colony collapse disorder by developing autonomous drone insects. Are we headed to a world where robot bees are possible? Or is the idea just a ludicrous invention of Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker’s imagination? Do we still not know why bees are disappearing? And what can we do now to save them?
