This clue might be a double definition.

'bee' is the first definition.
(I know that drone is a type of bee)

'small flier?' is the second definition.
'drone' can be an answer for 'flier?' (flying device). I am unsure of the 'small' bit.

'like a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drone that I've seen before include "small creature" , "Monotonous low sound" , "Male bee for the queen" , "Talk boringly; male bee" , "he gives us a buzz" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
