New research has found that the bumble bee generates lift on both the upwards and downwards strokes of its wings (instead of just the downward stroke like other insects.)
This allows it to create two times the vertical lift of a normal insect with the same wing area. It can therefore fly despite its size.
Fun Fact: Dumbledore was a word before JK Rowling used it in HP. It was another name for a bumblebee.

Love how everytime someone says a fact , even a most random one , someone here has expertise on it . " You're argument is invalid ! I've studied the aerodynamic laws on bumblebees. It moves it's wings at a higher rate than the other bees and therefore it can fly !"

bees can't fly according to the laws of aerodynamics AS APPLIED TO MASSIVE PLANES. at a bee's size, air acts more like a viscous fluid, so the laws of aerodynamics for insects work differently.

That assumption only works if a bumblebee flies in the same manner as a crow or an albatross.
Since the wingspan is clearly not large enough, the bumblebee is able to fly by flapping its' wings at a very high frequency to generate the lift needed for flight.

Bumblebee can't fly because he is an Autobot, plain and simple

killerklondike (12/18/2011) [-] I'm pretty sure the guy who originally said that used the fixed wing laws of aerodynamics, and was later reprimanded for being a god damn idiot.
Also, bees create a small vortex directly above them when they flap their wings fast enough, which creates a negative pressure zone above them and generates lift. Cause bees can do whatever the fuck they want.
