Nah, their driving is too straight.

I wouldn't be too sure of that, the one I just tried to swat sure drove an erratic course. Cannot blame it on me, I have not had a beer yet.

Bees do not really go looking for someone to sting. For them it is a defence mechanism that is always fatal. If the honey flow is strong and they are busy, you can open a hive with little problem but if there is a dearth in honey flow, they get angry and work to protect what they have..

Dimension wise, how large is that tank?
Have you tried to sell any of the fish?
Out of curiosity, how much do you spend on fish food, and approximately
how many fish do you have?>

The tank is a 10' diameter Easy Set pool (the kind with the inflatable
ring). The pool is lower than the beds, so the water is pumped from the
fish tank up to the beds, and gravity drains back into the tank. It's very
understocked...maybe a 15-20 fish 8-10" long. I have another 15-20 smaller
fish in the other tank. I go through 3 or 4 bags of floating fish food a
year (25#, about $8/bag), but the cats steal some of it.

I haven't tried to sell any of them yet. I'm not sure there's a market for
goldfish. I was thinking of raising koi to sell for ponds. I was also
thinking of raising tilapia (have to keep the water warmer), but I never
looked into marketing (do they have to be cleaned?, would that require a
lisense and processing facility?). There are not really enough fish to
fertilize all the plants, so I spray with fish emulsion and add a little
organic fertilizer once or twice a season.
