The myth that bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly according to science needs to die.
They wouldn't be able to fly in an outdated, simplified model, where you pretend they're birds and just plug in their wingspan and weight.
If you account for the fact that air molecules are a lot larger relative to their size than to a birds, so air acts more like water at that small scale, and they don't just move their wings up and down but in a complicated movement that shapes the turbulence, it's no surprise they can fly, and scientists know that.
I remember watching a video from a physicist who failed her pilot's license exam because she explained that and the modern theories of how airplane flight works instead of the old wingspan, weight, speed, and air density over the wings model.
Needless to say, she took the test again, gave the answer they wanted, and the video was about her building a plane out of wood about a month after she finished the launch of her Mach 2.1 capable model rocket.
Well that sounds cool. Got a link?
