A recent patent publication from Amazon disclosed the details of these drone beehives. It is pretty amazing.

Amazon plans to build such drone beehives in cities. They will look like 30 St Mary Axe in London. The drone beehives will blend well into urban landscapes.

Amazon’s trucks will deliver products to the beehive. Robots inside the beehive, will take the packages to the respective levels. Then a designated drone will pick the package and leave the beehive. The drone beehives make the delivery very efficient.
