Amazon's delivery drones could soon live in giant hives

While you might expect a hive to be full of bees, a new patent filed by Amazon suggests that giant versions of the structures could soon be used to house drones. A patent published today shows a nine-story hive with space for hundreds of drones. While Amazon has not said when, or if, it plans to create the hives, the patent suggests that they could be used in'downtown districts' or'urban areas' where there is little space to build outwards. While you might expect a hive to be full of bees, a new patent filed by Amazon suggests that giant versions of the structures could soon be used to house drones. The hive is designed to accomodate landing and takeoff of unmanned aerial vehicles in urban settings.
