[April 14, Xinhua News] recently, pear blossoms in Vancouver Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture of China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region (Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region) ushered in an important period of pollination. At the local specialty "fragrant pear" plantation in Tiemenguan, the autonomous prefecture, agricultural small drones (drones) are pollinating by spraying pollen solution.

　The Bee Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences said that the technology has the advantages of high efficiency and low cost, and can ensure the equalization of fruit. A small UAV can pollinate 40 mu (about 2.67 hectares) in an hour, which is 50-60 times more efficient than ordinary artificial pollination. By using the liquid pollination technology of bees and machinery, fragrant pears have increased production by more than 500 kilograms per mu (about 667 square meters), and now more and more pear farmers are using small drones in pollination operations.
