	Scientists map the flight of the bumblebee
		Bumblebees have an incredible homing instinct that allows them to find their way home from up to eight miles away, according to the early results of research that aims to aid efforts to save the British bumblebee.
		Bumblebees are being dropped off at famous landmarks in North East England by the Newcastle University researchers, who then observe if they can find their way back to a nest on campus.
		However, the record flight was from a garden centre in Heddon on the Wall in the Tyne Valley in the county of Northumberland - some eight miles or 13km from their nest.

	Flight of the Bumblebee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"The Flight of the Bumblebee" is a famous orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899-1900.
		Although in the opera the Swan-Bird sings during the first part of the "Flight," her vocal line is melodically uninvolved and easily omitted; this feature, combined with the fact that the number decisively closes the scene, made easy extraction as an orchestral concert piece possible.
		In the 2003 President's Star Charity of Singapore, "Flight of the Bumblebee" was performed on the erhu, a Chinese bowed string instrument.

		You are now ready for experiments in the flight of the bumblebee.
		Male bumblebees, in contrast to females, lack the cone at the back of the abdomen and lack the pollen basket on the third pair of legs.
		Bumblebees have relatively long pile (hairs) of contrasting fl and yellow patterns on a fl shiny body.

	Apologetics Press - The Flight of the Bumblebee
		Theoretical physicists applied to the bumblebee the theories that are effective in the flight of 747s, and determined that the bees should not be able to take flight.
		The motions of the bumblebee’s wings are too complex to formulate an exact equation to characterize the aerodynamics of its flight.

		In recent years, scientists have tackled the problem of insect flight from a number of different angles and gained new insights into the complexities of powered flight.
		Some of these researchers inevitably refer to the "bumblebees can't fly" story in their own remarks to the press and even in published reports, while pointing to the "new, improved" model to describe insect flight.

		The bumblebee is a flying insect of the genus Bombus in the family Apidae.
		Like the common honeybee, of which it is a relative, the bumblebee feeds on nectar and gathers pollen to feed its young.
		Bumblebees are social insects that are characterized by a fl and yellow striped body, a commonality among the majority of the species of Bombus; however, some species are known to have orange or even red on their bodies.

	Lasers illuminate the flight of the bumblebee (October 2001) - News - PhysicsWeb
		But even detailed models of the flight of the bumblebee are limited because they are based largely on the motion of tethered bumblebees, which behave differently.
		The wings of a bumblebee bend to create vortices that provide lift on both the upward and downward strokes, and a full analysis of the bee's flight involves many factors: wing angle, wing deformation, aerodynamic and inertial forces on the wing, and so on.
		Existing methods for measuring the body vectors of insects in free flight assume that the wings act symmetrically, but this only happens if the insect is flying in a straight line.

		The first error is the belief that the biggest problem in explaining the flight of the bumblebee is its body weight.
		The bumblebee is the same, as a static object it is not aerodynamically stable, it cannot glide.

	Cornell News: Insect aerodynamics
		An important key to solving the mystery of insect flight, Wang said, is the understanding of the vortex "shedding" and how the vortices behave when they separate from the moving surface that created them.
		Any theory of insect flight has to account for both viscous and inertial effects, Wang said, noting that in a fluid environment like air, inertia is a force due to the motion of the fluid itself as fluid particles are carried along by their own velocity.
		Ever since she heard it, the bumblebee myth has bothered Wang the way yellowjackets pester picnickers, and she has tried to trace its historical source.

		A British bumblebee has set a record for long-distance flight, finding its way home after being dropped off 8 miles away.
		For the record, the bee flew from a garden center in Heddon on the Wall in the Tyne Valley in the county of Northumberland to its home at Newcastle University.
		There are 25 species of bumblebee in the UK, but three have gone extinct in the past 30 years.

		Often, the statement is made in a distinctly disparaging tone aimed at putting down those know-it-all scientists and engineers who are so smart yet can't manage to understand something that's apparent to everyone else.
		On the average, a bumblebee travels at a rate of 3 meters per second, beating its wings 130 times per second.
		One evening, the researcher happened to be talking to a biologist at dinner, who asked about the flight of bees.

	The Flight Of The Bumblebee
		A biologist asked an expert on air movement to explain the flight of the bumblebee.
		The problem, as you may have guessed, is that the bumblebee does not have stiff, fixed wings like an airplane.
		For a start, the bumblebee bends and twists its wings as they flap up and down.

		They were not talking about bumblebees anymore, he'd thought sadly, but too late, too late, because then she turned, stared him in the eye, and said carefully, "I've had enough of being muffled up in cotton wool.
		It is necessary that it be so, or the sheer hideous weight of what has been done to her, to them, will knock them both out of the air.
		Some weeks later, he wakes in a hospital bed with the absolute cold of the Arctic ice still sunk deep in his bones, and turns to see her beside him, tired and pale but smiling as though there is a joy inside her so strong it makes a light glow under her skin.

		But you see, the bumblebee has never had physics, so he does not know that, and he flies all over the place.
		However, he was reminded that there are no fl astronauts, "you're a bumblebee, and everyone knows that bumblebees don't fly." But Ron McNair paid no attention, he went on, and he became an astronaut, the second fl into space.
		And so my bumblebee friends, in the words of Robert Frost, "we have miles and miles to go before we sleep." So fly bumblebees fly, and may the grace of God go with you.

		I'm not saying that Flight of the Bumblebee is not possible on a Tuba, i believe there is a fantastic recording of Charles Daellenbach (sp?) playing it with Canadian brass, but even then the melody is divided between tuba and the other instruments to allow the soloist to catch his breath.
		You have to remember that it is originally a violin section soli from an opera by rimski-korsakov and naturally things have to be altered when transcribing to wind instruments.
