What does the poet mean by ah too it has a wing in fame is a bee?
This is a popular poem by Emily Dickinson. She is comparing fame to a bee because it has both its good and bad points. "Fame stings" shows that fame can have its down side - the paparazzi follows you, people recognize you all the time, you often won't be left in peace, etc. Many people aspire to be famous, seeing only the glory and money involved. Dickinson seeks to warn these people that their dream may not be so desirable.
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.
How do bees get lift?
It was once said that the bumble bee is too heavy to fly, but no-one told the bee. This wasn't helped when someone calculated the lift generated by the bee's wings and said it wasn't enough to hold the bee's weight.The error arose because the person calculated lift treating the wing as a simple aerofoil. It wasn't until some years later that researchers found the truth: As the bee flaps its wings, on the downstroke vortices are created above the wing, and these greatly increase the lift generated -- more than enough t carry the bee.

Should a bee fly?
Well, it's a long way to walk to all those flowers! I think you may be thinking of the old saying that a bumble bee is too heavy to fly, but no-one told the bee. This was based on looking at the bee's wings as simple aerofoils, in which case there certainly wouldn't be enough lift. More recent studies have shown that when the bee flaps its wings it generates vortices above the wing which give significantly more lift.
