*a common misconception. Actually urban myth. Like me tazering myself.

That's true if you mean under normal aerodynamics. It's all different at the smaller scale, which is why a bumble bee could indeed fly if it was the size of an elephant.

Except that it couldnt... a bumble bee couldnt even stand up if it was the size of an elephant. Its legs wouldnt even support the wieght.

As you get more massive, you need to be disproportionately stronger to deal with that extra mass. Bees do not scale up. Thats why ants and fleas have all these crazy numbers associated with them wrt strength.

True.
