According to the laws of aerodynamics, a bumble bee is incapable of flight.
In 1934, French entomologist Antoine Magnan applied the laws of air resistance to insects and concluded that the bumble bee’s flight is impossible. This is primarily because its body weight is not in the right proportion to its wing capacity (in terms of size and beats per second).
But thankfully, the bumble bee is not exactly an aerodynamics buff and therefore does not care too much for scientific equations and calculations. So it does what it was born to do… FLY!!!
There’s a lesson for all of us from the bumble bee. Let’s focus on what comes naturally to us and not get bogged down by extraneous and irrelevant factors. And believe me, we all will fly.
