By then some enterprising crowdfunded startup will have developed a
yellowjacket supermicro drone just for the movie industry,
so perfectly realistic that moviegoers would never know the difference. You
never know these days with technology advancing almost at an exponential
rate. Since agricultural chemicals are decimating wild creatures at such an
alarming rate there may be no more 'jackets and bees in coming decades.
Then some enterprising businessman can rent "colonies" of flying insect
drones to homeowners who want to feel as close to Nature as they used be,
just like the real thing. They would of course each be wireless connected
to their owner's Internet of Things site with realtime database access
telling them when to fly to next customer or back home for maintenance.
