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.
Yes. He is trying to steal the coveted Mormon vote from Mitt. Those guys will do anything for a vote these days. 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.

Although indeed solitary bees,they DO NOT lack industry.
