What is interesting about a bumble bee?
to be scientifically correct, bees shouldn't be able to fly because their bodies are too heavy for their wings, but they fly anyways
How fast can a bumblebee fly?
20 mph is the max speed of a bumble bee. The average speed is 15 mph I would say under 10 mph. I don't know where the answer above came from, but I can tell you that I was just out riding my bike in no wind and had a bumble bee in FRONT of me for about 20 yards while I was going 27 mph. I would say they could go close to 30 for short distances in good conditions.
Are bumble bees really not supposed to be able to fly considering their body size versus their wing size?
There is an old saying: 'The bumble bee is too heavy to fly, but no-one told the bee'. This was strengthened when early aeronautical engineers calculated the lift from a bumble bee's wings and said it was less than the bee's weight. They had made the mistake of treating the wing as a simple aerofoil.It was quite a few years before the real truth was found. As the bee flies, the downstrokes of the wing generate vortices above the wings. These create several times more lift than a simple aerofoil, more than enough for the bee to fly.
Is it true a bumble bee cannot fly?
The myth behind this is unclear but it's possible that it originated from an after dinner speech where an aerodynamicist did some rough calculations, probably in jest, that proved that due to it's wing size, beats per minute and weight of it's body, it would be impossible to fly. Clearly this is untrue as a bumble bee can most certainly fly.
What is so great about the bumble bee?
Bumblebees are actually very important in our world! Bumblebees take pollen from some plants that have a lot of pollen and give the pollen to plants that don't have as much! You would think that they are mean but they are actually very intelligent and sort of kind! I know you are probably thinking "What do you mean? Bumble bees sting people?" But if you see a bumble bee, stay really still and they will either land close to you or fly away! Almost 100% of people get stung because of them swatting at a bumble bee or running away from them! Remember to stay still and try not to kill bumble bees only if they are threatening you!!
