These handy drones can fly in load-bearing formation to hang up strands of lights on trees, houses, poles, statues, mimes pretending to be statues...

Nothing to do but stand back and cheer this, considering I just hurt my back putting on the lights on our stupid tree. I' mean beautiful specimen of a tree, no duh.

Sp. "Borg".

Fishbone affixed pending correct capitalization.

On the Buchanan estate, we have similar problems. Fortunately, one of my ancestors hit upon the idea of illuminating the trees when they were first planted, such that the lighting network grows as the tree does.

On the plus side, it avoids having to send the Head Gardener up to the top of a 200ft cedar of Lebanon every Christmas. On the minus side, lights which were in fashion in 1788 are not necessarily on trend in 2018.

Borg is not a proper noun, a place name, etc. One wonders why the other species in Star Trek were capitalized when human is not.

How did the Buchanans manage to embed the gas supply lines into the trees?

And from what I've heard of the Buchanan heraldry, did they ever pay the mime statues for holding onto those torches in the outer meadowlands for so bleeding long, or simply stiff the professional stiffs?

Last question: how do you keep up the whale oil supply in the modern era?
