The Truth About Bumblebees

I read somewhere that the experts say that bumblebees, by the laws of physics, surely shouldn't be able to fly. Via this picture, I prove it: the bees are merely levitating. (Mind over matter. Dig it.)

Or perhaps the bumblebee, upper right, has just leaped from a diving board and will soon be landing in a pool of pink echinacea. Olympic dreams: he has them . . .

The butterfly may be some kind of official, watching closely to evaluate technique and rate the dive. (Butterfly, watch out belowwwwww!)
