Because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.

@Anonymous Part of an Ivy League education requires you to check your comments before posting them. The myth dates back to the 1930s, when the French entomologist August Magnan noted that a bee’s flight should be impossible. They saw that the bees stretched out their wing stroke amplitude, but didn’t adjust the frequency. Another study from 2005, by biology professor Michael Dickinson from the University of Washington, also concluded that bees flap their wings back and forth, not up and down. This was previously a big misconception about the way insects fly, and could have originally been what tripped Magnan up in the first place.
