So it is both; thanks for the correction and additional information. The math looks intimidating.

Re: CS>Re: Bumblebees
The beating of the wings moves air down and across the bee's back and provides lift to the wings, and the back simulatneously.

RE: CS>Re: Bumblebees
I think it was the theory of lift from the orbiting motion of the wings that was missed; not the flow over the body.

The bumblebee's wings provide too little lift for them to lift the bumblebee. But the scientists forgot about the flow of air over it's round body, which provides a significant amount of lift, sufficient to allow it to fly. My question is, if the bumblebee is at rest, what causes the *...flow of air over it's round body,...* to allow it to begin it's flight?
