According to the current understanding of physics, there is no such thing as "absolute motion". There is nothing in space that distinguishes one frame of reference from another. There is no "preferred" reference frame. Thus, if you don't specify a frame of reference, you don't know how an object is moving. Unless, of course, the frame of reference is implicit; in some practical situations it is.

Motion is relative to a frame of reference, or zero point, motion v= dr/dt = (r-r0)/(t-t0).

The value depends on r0 and t0 the frame reference points, different frames have different reference points and different motion.

It allows for a common "language" of measurements, that makes translation to other frames possible.

Is a bee flying in a moving vehicle flying at the same velocity as that of the vehicle?

it will have the same ground speed (or very similar), but its indicated air speed, (speed in relation to air molecules around it) will be slower. Unless it is a very fast bee flying in circles within the car... The key to the answer is the frame of reference. To the pilot, his stationary frame of reference is the surface of the earth. Relative to that frame, he is moving at a high speed. The frame of reference for the bee or an observer of the bee in the plane is the interior of the plane. So choose your frame of reference before you think through the problem. The pilot is actually on a planet moving through in orbit around the sun at about 19 miles per second, but because he cannot perceive that motion, it is ignored and he tries to get the best groundspeed (across the surface of the earth) given the prevailing winds at various altitudes (his frame of reference....the surface of the earth). == ==

Why is it important to know if your reference point is moving?

I think it's important to know if your reference point moves because your reference point is the object that's not supposed to move and if it moves it will mess up your hypothesis of thinking that your 1st object moves. It takes a while to completely understand the answer, or even the question
