I'm with "Swarm"

[mikeprice]

I think swarm is specifically used to a load of them all under some form of control or co-operation

 

such as military drones with a load of little ones all working together to accomplish a single missions

 

so a load all being flown by separate people all in one areas needs its own name

 

a nuisance would seem appropriate
