Artificial pollination exists but is costly, inefficient, and cannot replace natural pollinators on a global scale.
I know this may sound silly, but I had not known about artificial pollination! I wanted to share a video I watched about it (https://youtu.be/FAZ82x-Tmw0?si=UqFizxbBXoWz8vWF) and in the video Dr. Broussard mentions that artificial pollination has been happening for over 50 years! I was surprised hearing that as I had thought it was something that existed very recently.
