Bees don't know that. They're dumb. They'll believe anything they read on the internet.

But helicopters don’t fly, they’re just so ugly the earth repels them.

I'll never understand the recent rise in "aerodynamics can't explain [thing]!" from people who probably couldn't solve a first-order linear ODE. I guess Dunning–Kruger has come for Navier–Stokes.

Wholesome, but wrong.

Bee movie isn't educational.

Edit suggestion: "most people don't understand how we fly... Yet we do"

Still works Cause it doesn't. Matter if other people can understand everything about you, you be you anyway.

It's comforting for people to imagine they're not stupid and other people aren't smart.

If according to aerodynamics bees couldn't fly, they wouldn't.

But they do.

So according to aerodynamics, bees can fly.

Still a cute strip. 🙂

Most people don't understand how anything flies, though, including the ladybug.
