✗ The myth everyone repeats
Bees are aerodynamically impossible, they shouldn't be able to fly according to the laws of physics, yet they do.
✓ What is actually true
This myth likely originated from early 20th-century misapplication of airplane aerodynamics to bees. Bees fly using different mechanisms: rapid wing beats (200+ per second), rotational movement, and vortex generation create lift in ways different from fixed-wing aircraft. Modern physics and biology fully explain bee flight using fluid dynamics.
