They're hard! also, using the most basic of models to represent the bee it is not possible for the bee to fly but once you refine the model and take into acount their remarkable ability to use their turbulance to help them fly (around 50% more efficent than effort alone) it is possible to demonstrate that not only do bees obey the laws of aerodynamics but that they exploit them ingeniously.

Clearly that is no a bumblebee but a little animatron that looks like one.
Or, what could also be the case, is that is is a tiny alien that looks like a bumblebee by baffling coincidence, but is in fact an alien from some distant ice-covered planet that merely fled into the freezer to survive.
In that case it would fly by using a jetpack.

Oh God! Half the nation's freezers will be full of bumble bees tomorrow!

bees hibernate in winter, very simimalr to the ways certain frogs do. By freezing themselves and living (barely) in a comatose state. When their body thaws they spring back to life as if nothing happened, bees certain frogs and some other animals can produce a sort of antifreeze in their blood and organs that allows it to survive in winter.

This is a good example of the power, or indeed danger, of the shared word, and modern media. Im trying this, at next opportunity, at the expence of (bee's) life.

i'm not really sure but i know that a fly is the same way... they must have some kind of anti freeze in them that helps them stay live through the winter...

They keep themselves warm enough by flapping their wings just enough. Leave the little bugger in there for a fortnight and see if he still lives

i agree with peridot - that is sadistic but it is probley to do with the bee slowing down its heartrate in order to survive - i'm glad it did!
