My new Decal for MM! The BeeMini!!

Yes, I think so too. Wasp in the air, UAV.
Although bumblebees are cute, black, yellow,
red and white.

I have had native ground-nesting bees and honey bees attack
my Mavic2 Pro and unfortunately get chopped to bits, I am
studying what factors attract the bees to the drone. Several
pilots on this forum, have reported the same thing.

I'm an entomologist professor at the University of
Arizona in Tucson, close to the border with Mexico.

Best,
Steve

While not your field I have noticed that my M2Z with MAS props attracts hummingbirds, I have several that come up to it when I take off and land in my area. I just went with common sense and attributed it to frequency of props wash...who knows? Cheers to you working this late in the game :)
I retired at 48..IF I could have still worked in my field of interest I still would ;)

To those that commented that DJI should make different colors, they already marketed that and found out that most would rather have a certain color, At least that is my take.
