So...

Today my Mavic got swarmed by Bees. I brought it down as soon as I noticed so not the massacre the whole local Bee population.

Anyone's Mavic been swarmed by other wildlife? Did it survive?

Happens now and to me. The sound of drones resonates with them. I took a little syma quadcopter up, same happened to that too.

I'm having the same problem. They come out and fly right into the blades. These are huge bees. I try to gain altitude and forward momentum to pull away.

Had the same, about 20-30 bees FOLLOWING my Mavic. As soon as I recognized it, I flew high/away in Sports mode to "loose" them. After returning, I could see signs on the mavic that some of the bees got killed by the props.

I live on the coast so when I fly I always get trouble with seagulls or other types of birds and the seagulls are huge....
