Idea #1 - Sense of humor and fun.  A drone with maybe a character - human, animal, or inanimate object - flying it.  A tireless worker bee is also called a drone so maybe an animated bee dressed in pilot gear is flying the drone. Or the bee is wearing vacation attire while the drone is doing the work with hard hat on top.

Idea #2 - My business will focus on mapping which relies heavily on GPS and automated missions. Maybe something featuring a compass rose and/or satellite.

Idea #3 - A bee taking a flight ON the drone.  The bee usually does the work but in this case he is taking the easy way while the drone does the work.

ATTENTION:  Nearing end of open contest - I have a great bunch of entries that responded well to my requests and ideas.  AS THE OPEN CONTEST DRAWS TO A CLOSE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME HIGHLY STYLIZED LOGOS.  THE LESS DETAIL THE BETTER.  USE YOUR OWN IDEAS. DOES NOT HAVE TO INCLUDE BEE OR ANIMATION.  THANK YOU ALL AND INVITE OTHERS TO ENTER AS WELL.  GO WILD!!!

Thank you very much for your design.  I really like that you listened to what I asked for and used your creativity to answer with a well thought out design.  It was a reach for me to decide to go with a logo which was different from the mainstream but I feel good that this will distinguish my business in a positive way.  
Regards,
Doug
