Bumblebees can fly . . . ?
I was informed that bumblebees ride on tiny antigrav scooters, developed through aphid technology. I got into an argument about this just the other day, when a coworker was trying to explain that bumblebees are actually aliens with cloaked vessels and they're only seen when they're peeking out an open hatch and searching out a flower for refueling.
"Empire of the Ants" was a clever story, where H. G. Wells supposed that, in a small, common hive, ants were bugs, whereas in a mega-hive covering several miles, the conglomerate of that hive was indeed a genius.
