Good news! One day it will be all synthetic food replacing traditional agriculture!
"... Robots are replacing bumblebees as a more efficient and reliable way of pollinating crops. ...
Tests in commercial greenhouses in Israel, Australia and the United States, show tomatoes pollinated by Polly had yields up to five per cent higher than those pollinated by bumblebees in the traditional way, and up to 20 per cent higher than manual pollination. ...

The Polly is an autonomous ground robot that drives down rows of tomato plants in greenhouses, capturing images of every flower, and using artificial intelligence to detect which ones are ready to be pollinated.
It then shoots out air pulses to replicate buzz pollination ... It works for tomatoes and other crops which contain both male and female parts. ..."
