would it ever get off the ground ?
Jut watched a massive big black bumble bee at work today (infact I had it walking on my hand until it flew away) and wondered how it ever manages to fly.
They most certainly cannot be descirbed as aerodynamic, this one was like a golf ball, but score well in the flying stakes

You must have nerves of steel, I can't stand anything that buzzes except Siren's rampant rabbit. As for how it flies... I haven't got a scooby I'm just glad it does... thatwaway! --  |

Loll, bumble bees, honey bees are fine, it's the wasps and hornets that you have to watch - those little bastards will sting you just because they can  |

Bumble bees wings work a bit like helicopter rotary blades and create a vortex lift above their wings in a similar way, so funny as they look they are quite efficient. |

Isn't there a famous film or book that depicts what would happen if we nuked all the bees.. or was that butterflies? .. I dunno.. don't like honey anyway.  |

"Bee Movie.......apparently 
We need them to survive,they're vital little buzzy things "
I'm quite happy for them to buzz their little heart's out to their content, so long as they are ALL aware that there is a 10-foot No-Fly Zone around me and that failure to adhere to that simple rule will result in an agonising death. |

Have you never watched a bee trying hopelessly to maintain airspeed with it's wings glued together with insecticide? It's like watching old WW2 footage of planes going down spinning aound and around until they hit the deck and roll a few times before bursting into flames. (ok they only burst into flames after I've set light to the spray can and zap them in their death rolls) |

Nah, no chance. A bee can fly because its wings beat so much faster than most other flying creatures so by sheer force of effort, they take off. Bit like a hummingbird...technically their wings are too small for their bodies as well. Saw it on some nature programme about there weeks ago..
I'm not a nerd...honest!! |
