Morning all the world,

I have heard all kinds of speed at which a bee flies loaded and without any
load.

What is the speed without any load?

What is the speed loaded with pollen?

What is the speed with her nectar stomach filled?

What speed can she fly if loaded to her weight?

I know this is really elementary questions, but I would like to know.

I do a lot of presentations to elementary schools, so I feel the need to
know.

This should cover it,

Thanks,

Lionel
