The department currently has a fleet of 810 drones, which are used to monitor federal lands. Of those, 786 are Chinese-made and 121 come from DJI, the leading provider of consumer drones. DJI denies that its technology poses a threat.

The leading drone vendor developed the system to address safety and privacy concerns. The US Federal Aviation Administration is also drafting a rule that'll require all consumer drones to offer 'remote identification,' or what's basically an electronic license plate.

A new rule proposed by the Federal Aviation Administration would make it possible for the United States government to track almost all drones in the country.

The Secretary of the Interior has signed an order that calls for the US 'domestic production capability' to build small unmanned drones. China-based DJI accused the department of imposing 'politically motivated country of origin restrictions masquerading as cybersecurity concern.'

Marshwood Vale, Dorset: It began in March, when the buff-tailed queens emerged from hibernation, zigzagging from bloom to bloom

In the garden on a bright morning, with sunshine lancing the cherry blossom, my eye is drawn to the fat glitter of a queen bumblebee gathering nectar in the golden bowl of a tree peony flower. A black, almost velvety, body and rich orange-tipped rump indicate that this is a red-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius). Her wings shine as if newly waxed, while her tongue briskly probes a tassel of stamens. After a few seconds she’s off to check the next bloom – then airborne again, zooming over the wall.

Lockdown has replaced the background hum of distant traffic with the low, blundering drone of bumblebees. It began in March when buff-tailed queens emerged from hibernation, zigzagging across the lawn. Buff-tails are easily recognised by their size – the queens can be more than 2cm long – and their markings, two well-separated yellow bands and a brown-tinged tail-tip. Because they nest in holes in the ground, they are also called earth bumblebees (Bombus terrestris). The name is like an anchor, tethering a creature of sunlight, pollen and warmth to the chthonic darkness underground.
