The Flight of the Bumblebee

Factual Questions
1

Recently, Mike Huckabee compared himself to the bumblebee, whose flight is according to lore impossible according to science.

My understanding is that science figured this one out a while back. Supposedly the weight-to-lift ratio was all wrong to get the bee off the ground, but wind tunnel tests have demonstrated that the bees create vorticies behind their wings that generate lift.

Was I smoking the crack, or has this mystery actually been solved?

Though bumble bees live in burrows, not a hives, and they are not cooperative, industrious, prolific creatures like the honey bees the Mormons idolize.

It would be no more of a stretch to think this is due to Huckabee’s name.

Why would the two choices you present have to be mutually exclusive? :wink:

Yes. He is trying to steal the coveted Mormon vote from Mitt. Those guys will do anything for a vote these days. :smiley: Oh wait, Mormons don’t idolize bumblebees. I guess I really don’t understand the Mormon vote. :smack: Vote for me anyway, at least I tried.

Do you know what bees like that are doing to our soil?

“Though bumble bees live in burrows, not a hives, and they are not cooperative, industrious, prolific creatures like the honey bees the Mormons idolize.”

Although indeed solitary bees,they DO NOT lack industry.
