> is it the wings simply can't be deployed for flight. 

Not exactly sure what the question is. However, the way I see it is: it is not necessary for a muscle to "do anything" visible. For example, clench your fist. You are expending energy, releasing heat, but the fist is not moving or "doing anything." So, bees can generate heat without moving by contracting muscles
