When bees have been unable to leave the colony in the winter due to cold weather, they will take any opportunity on an occasional warm day to leave the colony to excrete outside rather than do it inside the colony. This is known as an evacuation or cleansing flight.

Why would bees be out flying around in 36 degree weather?

I assume that you mean 36 on the Fahrenheit scale ie, 4 degrees above freezing. This is just about as low as it can get before bees will not leave their hive. On a sunny day, even when the temperature is this low, bees will leave their hive on an 'evacuation' or 'cleansing' flight rather than use the inside of their hive as a toilet.

The term for the flight of bees is called a "swarm." This occurs when a colony of bees, typically led by a queen, leaves its original hive to find a new home.

During this process, bees will cluster together temporarily while scout bees search for a suitable location for a new hive.

Is it true that bees cannot fly or should not be able to?

No. The laws of flight as we understand them explain insect flight, including that of bees, perfectly well. The idea that bees should not be able to fly stems from an instance in the 1930s when one scientist jokingly demonstrated that bees cannot fly if you apply the calculations for a fixed-wing object like an airplane. Insects generate lift using different mechanisms than airplanes or birds do, but methods that scientists nonetheless understand.
