How can a bee fly?

Answer 1

they have wings

======================

Answer #2:

They find it the fastest and least dangerous method of travel on their preferred

itinerary outside of the hive.

Historically, those bees that didn't fly collected very little nectar to contribute

to the colony, and were often stepped on. So comparatively few of them were

available to pass on their genes when it came gene-bequeathing time, and they

eventually became so rare that they're now regarded as defects by the colony

at large. They're not fed, nobody plays with them, and they're not allowed to

intermarry, which guarantees the further monotonic diminution of their numbers.

Answer 2

AnswerA professor Torkel Weis-Fogh of zoology at Cambridge University in the 1970, showed us how small insects fly. A small insects wings work by causing air to flow over it in such a way that when the air leaves the rearedge of the wingsit moves downwards The resulant eddy produces an upward thrust on the wing. This does not happen quickly, it takes timeto make a good eddy, and the wing has to move a distance a few times its length to get things started. The maximum travel of a wing is roughly its length and very little lift is generated for most of the stroke. Small birds and insects, when they go to take off, they need a lot of lift. They bring there wings together above their back so that they clap, exhausting air from between their wings, when the wings seprate, air is quuckly drawn in to fill the void. Then the wings are flung apartand the lift is immediately caused, because the air is all ready moving in the correct way. This is how a bumble bee, or a wasp, hummingbird, turkey, fly and why you can hear them, these are just examples, you may hear other birds or insects flying yourself. And for the bumble bee...There is an old saying: 'The bumble bee is too heavy to fly, but no-one told the bee'. This was strengthened when early aeronautical engineers calculated the lift from a bumble bee's wings and said it was less than the bee's weight. They had made the mistake of treating the wing as a simple aerofoil.

It was quite a few years before the real truth was found. As the bee flies, the downstrokes of the wing create vortices above the wing. These creates several times more lift than a simple aerofoil, more than enough for the bee to fly.

Answer 3

There are a lot of reasons about why bees can fly. Here are some.

-Bees are able to fly because they move there wings rapidly (230 times per second)to help them stay in the air and fly.

- Bees can fly because as the bees flap its wings, the wings are creating low pressure and the still air around the bee is high pressure, so the high pressure under the bee pushes or forces it to stay and the air while the low pressure (wing movements) makes it go down. Don't understand? It is like Bernoulli's principle: fast moving air creates low pressure, still air is high pressure. (ex. turn on a tap put two spoons on each end of the running water. The two spoons will act like a magnet because the running water is low pressure ( fast fluid=low pressure) and the air around the spoons pushes/forces them together.

Answer 4

Well acording to the lars of fisics (i dont no if its spellt like that) a bee just cant fly there bodys to fat and their wings are to small! so rely pritty much nobody knows!!!!!
They flap their wings very quickly.

Answer 5

Bees are capable of flying as high as Mount Everest. At 18,000 feet they are capable of flying higher than any other insect.

Answer 6

they usually stay in a 3 km radius from the hive

Answer 7

With their wings.

Answer 8

With wings...

Answer 9

Because of how fast their wings move.

Answer 10

A bee shouldn't be able to fly because it's tiny wings shouldn't be able to carry the bee's fat body off the ground but the bee flys anyway this is because the bee doesn't care what humans think.................
