hahaha silly beephysics does not apply to you!*
*yes, somewhere it states that the surface area of a bees wings means it generates less lift then required to produce flight, but the equation misses out the fact that the bees wings are flapping, which produces ALOT of lift

SCIENCE says it's very complicated.The secret of honeybee flight, the researchers say, is the unconventional combination of short, choppy wing strokes, a rapid rotation of the wing as it flops over and reverses direction, and a very fast wing-beat frequency.
"These animals are exploiting some of the most exotic flight mechanisms that are available to insects,"
SCIENCE!
