how come bees can fly when the dont have feathers?

Answer 1

noboddy knows

mathematically it's impossible because a be cannot create lift - yet it can

Answer 2

an airplane does not have feathers either, yet it flies.

It all has to do with lift, which can be generated in a variety of ways. so long as the bee can generate more lift with his wings than his body weighs, he will fly.

There is a rumor floating around that it should be impossible for bumble bees to fly, but that is not the case.

Lift generated by wings is a complex phenomenon in the insect world. Not near as cut and dried as airplanes. The fact of the matter is that bees generate enough lift with their wings to overcome their body weight.

Hope this helps
