How do bumble bees fly? I heard they defy physics, is that true?

Asked by RandomMrdan (7436points) February 22nd, 2009

I heard that the size of their wings, and the speed they flap, it should be impossible for them to carry around their body mass. But somehow they still fly, does anyone have some details to share about bumble bees and how their small wings are able to fly them around?
