How many times does a bee flap its wings per minute?

Answer 1

Bumble bees beat their wings between 130 and 240 times a second with the smaller bees at the higher end of the scale and the larger bees at the low end. To say how may times an hour would imply they fly continuously for an hour, which they don't.

Answer 2

In 1947 it was determined that a bumblebee will flap it's wings anywhere between 208 and 277 beats per second. This means that the wings will beat anywhere between 748,800 and 1,009,200 beats per hour.

Answer 3

It beats its wings about 11,000 times each minuet, So it beats its wings 660,000 times in an hour.
