For the first time ever an apple orchard was pollinated by a drone. Beak & Skiff Apple Orchard, in LaFayette, New York, commissioned a company called Dropcoter to pollinate a portion of its orchard. By harvest time they will be able to tell if the drone-pollenated plants returned a higher yield of apples compared to the rest of the orchard.
