Bumblebees could fly over Mt Everest!

Bumblebees could fly over Mount Everest!

To reach such great heights, any flying organism (or even a helicopter) has two options: beat their wings faster or increase their wing stroke amplitude, the angle through which they beat their wings. Just flapping their little wings faster would likely be harder for a bee because they beat their wings in a fairly unique way, so the best option for the bee is take wider strokes.
