This is good news, Mark. We can be bees.

Apologies to the guy in the subway screaming about bugs being Chinese spies, I wasn't familiar with your game

But some flaws remain. Bees need wired power […]. A long-lasting battery weighs 600mg – far too heavy for a bee.
The solution is to breed enormous bees

I hope that this isn’t a stupid question but…why not just breed bees?
-
The point is to use them as tiny drones. No need to make a drone if you can just put a camera on a bee and tell them where to go
-
but bees are already tiny drones
-
Seems unnecessary and with major drawbacks?

This question applies in all circumstances really. If in doubt, just like, breed some bees.

CIA has been doing this type of thing with insects (maybe not bees) for a while supposedly. They even bragged about it in an ad campaign a while back. Something in the vein of "some of our bugs have been real bugs" with a picture of an insect. Still not sure how that works for getting any kind of data back but I suppose it's possible they might be able to tap the optical nerves, broadcast it weakly and use super high-power boosted antennas pointed at the location to pick up vague pictures like outlines of layouts in buildings or maybe something similar with audio reverberations. Not sure.
