Less Energy Use – A single large wing reduces turbulence & makes flight smoother, conserving energy.

A clever adaptation that helps them fly efficiently while carrying pollen or nectar and discovered millions of years before us. How much more can we learn from Nature?

#FunFact

Stronger Lift – A larger, more stable wing surface generates more lift, making flight more energy-efficient.

Better Manoeuverability – Bees can detach the wings when needed, like when crawling into tight spaces.

Both got their names from the Latin 'appendere' meaning 'to hang upon.'

They also break down some of the chemicals we encounter in daily life and play an important role in the development of our immune systems.
