Put honey bees on Mars
According to scientists, Mars can provide life for humans. However, just as humans have to eat, they can survive, so they want to survive on Mars, the first thing that needs to be solved is the food problem, that is to ensure the production of large quantities of vegetables .
To do so, it is necessary to bring many honey bees to this area to help pollinate vegetables.
Thus, the question is whether honeybees can fly on Mars? To answer this question, Japanese tomato transplant specialists did an experiment and discovered that Mars's gravity was only 1/3 of the Earth, but it could still help Honey bees fly on the surface of Mars.
Because of its important role in pollinating agricultural crops, it is hoped that honey bees will be available on Mars in the future.
Specifically, during the experiment, the experts gave about 30 honey bees into a box, placed in the plane and simulated in the gravitational environment of the universe, then the experts carried out the flight. in the Pacific sky.
During a period of several tens of seconds at a time when the aircraft took off and landed, it created a small gravity environment to observe the movements of honey bees. As a result, when in the gravityless state, honey bees hit the wall many times and could not fly.
However, when creating the same low gravity environment in Mars, honey bees can both control the body and fly.
After undergoing a low gravity environment, their flight ability improved clearly. At this time, experts observed their hovering movements in a calm atmosphere when taking honey.
The relationship between flying insects and gravity still has a lot of secrets. This is the first time that Japanese experts have carried out insect flight experiments in the same gravity environment as on Mars.
