Bees

[Bazzr14]

Whilst out flying yesterday my Mavic Pro was surrounded by bees, at first only three or four, but after a few minutes flying there were 50 or more! Not sure what their intentions were but when I landed the Mavic was a mess, the props and the body were covered with chopped up bees, felt a bit sad about dispatching the bees but was not easy to avoid, everywhere the Mavic went they followed, even after landing they still circled it!

That's why I monitor the video feed consistently. When I see them on there, I fly far away until I don't see them anymore. Then I take an alternate route back.

This has also happened to me. I don't know if the frequency attracts them or something? Maybe they think Mavic is a massive Queen bee?

I think the best thing to do is very quickly gain or lose altitude. They can't keep up and you should shake them off easily enough.

Same issue for a week. Mom suggested a few drops of pepperment oil on the props. Works like a charm!
