#39: The Flight of the Bumblebee Isn’t a Mystery
For dozens of years, I’ve heard that bees shouldn’t be able to fly. Imagine my surprise when I went to fact-check this and found that this has been very well researched, and there are entire explanations available for anyone who would like to understand the phenomenon. If you’re curious, check out this article from Wisconsin Pollinators.

A serious side note: Our bee population is rapidly dwindling. If you want to help, try planting a pollinator garden or making a bee bowl, which is a bird bath with pebbles, so that thirsty bees can access water without drowning. Every little step we take to help them thrive is a step in the right direction.
