He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bees fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel
36、, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found
37、 that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties.

B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadnt dried up or degraded at all.”可知，十年后被重新发现时，凝胶根本没有干枯或退化。因此Miyako惊讶的是它仍然具有很高的粘性。结合选项，故选B。13.
