notice how after shaking them out of the box, all the workers start walking up towards the queen, who is still in the screened box.

there's no reason to throw it out, guys... :rolleyes2: Hard to say over a distance what's needed to get it flying again.

That's kindof up to you and how your body reacts. I don't have those issues with either.

One of my favorite SNL skits....
