Lead a line.
The swarm does the rest.

Trace a path across the canopy and 200 Forager drones fall in behind you like a swarm of bees — sweeping ten hectares row by row, blossom by blossom, without missing a single tree.

One gesture, total coverage

You draw the intent. The flock executes it.

A single lead vector is all the swarm needs. Steer once and the drones self-organise into a moving front — buzzing, spacing, correcting — that rakes the orchard in a serpentine sweep. No waypoints to program. No row left unvisited.

01

Point the way

Your cursor becomes a lead bee. The 200 Foragers seek it, but never crowd it — separation keeps them a hand-span apart, alignment keeps them pointed the same way.

02

The swarm fills in

Cohesion pulls stragglers back into the cloud, so the front stays dense enough to touch every blossom in its width as it passes over the canopy.

03

Row by row, no gaps

Left, drop a row, right, drop a row — a boustrophedon path guarantees each tree is dusted. Watch the canopy warm from leaf-green to blossom as coverage climbs to 100%.

Inside the swarm

Three rules, twelve grams, one intention.

Each Forager is a palm-sized rotor carrying an electrostatic pollen brush. It knows only its neighbours and your lead — yet together they behave like a colony that has foraged the same orchard for a thousand seasons.

Swarm algorithm

Reynolds boids on-board: separation, alignment and cohesion, weighted against your lead vector. Fully decentralised — lose a drone mid-flight and the front simply reforms around the gap.

Pollination efficiency

A metered electrostatic dusting places viable pollen on the stigma of every open flower in the sweep — matching hand-pollination fruit-set without a single ladder or hired crew.

Endurance

Thirty-eight minutes aloft, then each Forager returns to a hot-swap hive dock, trades its cell in nine seconds, and rejoins the front. Coverage never pauses for a charge.

Built for real rows

Every orchard has its own weather. The swarm adapts.

Almond · the five-day bloom

Almonds open for barely a week and demand bee weather that rarely shows. The swarm flies the moment petals part — dawn frost or gusting afternoon — and dusts the whole block before the window shuts.
