10、ght could push itself through water.Dr.Roh and his co-worker,Morteza Gharib,used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements.The researchers used a wire to restrict each bees bodily movement,allowing close examination of their wings.They found that the bee

11、 bends its wings at a 30-degree angle,pulling up water and producing a forward force.Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air.But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down.Its a tough exercise for the bees,which the
