SHUSSHH . . . Don't Tell the Bumble Bee "Scientists have proven that it is aerodynamically impossible for the bumble bee to fly," says Dr. Mamie. "Its body is too heavy, and its wings are too light. However, the bumble bee doesn't read – it just flies." We often let the world convince us that we can't do things, or we throw up our hands and simply say, "I can't." Believe and you to can do what is said to be impossible.
