Came down with lots of goo on my new drone

They are drones, no pun, male honey bees, probably with something on their minds other than attacking.
Hopefully there wasn't a virgin queen (from memory they mate only once) in amongst them to get diced by the Mini SE. It's very clear footage of such an event but if it happens again I would try to get away from them, bees are having a rough enough time as it is .......and ever little...consideration.... helps. (Brit pun of a supermarket's catch phrase)

Had something like that up a little north past Traverse City. For whatever reason on the Peninsula the mosquitos are relentless that they form thick clouds and travel along the beaches. One such cloud hit my Mini 2, and I spent a lot of time with little alcohol wipes cleaning off black bug guts everywhere.
