Drones

Definition of Drones Episode of the Origin of the Term "Drone"
cited from Marilyn Monroe and the Origin of "Drone"
http://skyward.io/marilyn-monroe-and-the-origin-of-drone/
"UAV interest in the U.S. dipped during the interwar period, but research and testing continued steadily in Britain. In 1935, the Royal Navy demonstrated a remote-controlled plane for anti-aircraft training called the Queen Bee. Among those witnessing the demonstration was one William Standley, a U.S. admiral and Chief of Naval Operations. Impressed, he advanced the idea of developing a similar operation for the Navy. In homage to the Queen Bee, the word "drone" was adopted by the Navy as a moniker for unmanned aircraft."

Webster	A low continuous humming sound A male bee that does no work but can fertilize a queen An unmanned aircraft or ship guided by remote control or onboard computers
Oxford	A low continuous humming sound A male bee that does no work but can fertilize a queen A remote-controlled pilotless aircraft or missile
