For decades, scientists questioned how bees could possibly fly. Too heavy. Too small. Too fast. Yet bees don’t just fly — they engineer flight. By beating their wings around 230 times per second, they create tiny vortexes of air, generating lift in a way closer to a helicopter than a bird. From recognising human faces to producing propolis with powerful antimicrobial properties, honeybees continue to challenge what we think we know about intelligence in nature.
