This is a picture of a bee. I wondered how they can fly when they have really small wings and a big body? I found out they have mini tornados on the edge of their wings. They stop them from stalling in the air and falling onto the ground, splat! The tornados help the bee angle their wings to get more lift. Scientists used mathematical models to find this out.
