  • Doggone, that's something else! Makes me wonder how they even manage to fly. I never realized how tiny their wings were compared to their bodies! Lol

  • I BELIVE I CAN FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • FLAP FASTER!!

  • The bumblebees where I live are so big, that's how you see them fly off at normal speed Lol XD

  • PRESS F13 For SUPER SLOW MOTION

  • Its right wing is damaged! :(

  • Morons said they can't fly, how it works and why they weren't sure has been known forever.

  • Bumble bee sounds just cute.

  • i like how in the replies ultraslo always says enjoy

  • @Instenium Thank you, that is what we are here for ;) Enjoy

  • Aerodynamically the FAT WIFE'S VISA CARD shouldn't be able to fly, but the DAMN WOMAN doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway INTO WENDY'S.

  • i tried this with my hands...its not possible.

  • bees flap their wings an amazing 230 times per second. give 'em credit for that. ^_^

  • theres no 0:30 weird

  • Was That A Bumble Bee Or A Honey Bee?

  • @spliffyc It is a bumble bee. we have also posted several other bees too. Just search Ultraslo bee to see more.

    Enjoy

  • @ultraslo its a carpenter bee

  • @spliffyc Just a Bee

    LOL

  • poor bumblebee ripped its wing :(

  • :-(

  • fly, robin fly, up, up to the sky

  • he is way too slow he aint gunna get to any flowers flying at that speed!

  • I knew it. We too could fly if we flapped our arms fast enough!

  • God damn, that looks tiring.

    I changed my mind about wanting to be able to fly.

  • KILL IT! I hate bees!

  • Comment removed

  • The way the ways fly reminds me of a humming bird

  • You have just watched 0.60 seconds!

  • Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it goes on flying anyway.

  • @joboikickme As it turns out the bee flap its wings an amazing 230 times per second, much faster than smaller insects. Analysis revealed sufficient lift was generated by unconventional combination of short, choppy wing strokes, a rapid rotation of the wing as it flops over and reverses direction, along with a very fast wing-beat frequency.

  • gay

  • @TheShoeSex go back to ur shoesex

  • @TheLamas408

    go back to your bestiality

  • @TheShoeSex Im a lama....

  • @TheLamas408

    u can go on with ur beastiality games and fantasies on lamas, but ur still a loser and i won the last discussion

  • @TheShoeSex Your just a dumb ass. First of all you dont know what my name username means. And wtf is a beastiality games. If anyone here is a loser, it is you for not making any fucken sence.

  • @TheLamas408 Hypocrite!

  • @leeofbacup I guess so. But he was being a fag for trolling and thinking he won some discussion.

  • we're such interlligent species and still not able to fly like that.

  • its like hes treading water with his wings...

    but on air of course.

  • what's up with it's right wing? is it doing this to turn or is something wrong with its hamuli?

  • they need to flap as hard as they can to move that fatass body LMAO jk nature is nature they cant help, thanks god for making such amazing things ^^

  • That's not a bumble bee.

  • I see this and praise God for creating such beautiful animals capable of something as complex as flying!

  • @rsaran1288

    It' s evolution, it's an accident

  • @Cokoholicar the beauty of the specific purpose of its design speaks of God's glory, as does the entire earth and universe!

  • @rsaran1288

    It's not god, it's nature, atoms and molecules- why everything tends to go towards perfection is unknown but is definitively not because of one being that has the ability to do everything which is simply preposterous. If god does exist, who made him?

  • @Cokoholicar Things don't tend towards perfection. Things tend towards adapting to their environment because only the things that do so survive. Was the dodo perfect? How about the dinosaurs or the thousands of species that go extinct every year? Were they perfect?

  • @sexyloser

    I asked a specific question. Answer that first. And yes everything TENDS to go towards perfection. Read carefully you christian bigot.

  • @Cokoholicar

    Please, im sick of you're bullshit.. it's nature, atoms and molecules? tell me.. where came atoms from?.. "cokojoker: Big Bang".. then where came those atoms who touched and exploded wich made every thing perfect? no proof?.. i dont wanna hear theorys.. and who made God? You created.. sorry i mean put together material wich is already in the world together to make something useful- for example a car.. really intelligent, abs breakes, over 700hps, top speed over 350 kmh ...1/2

  • @Cokoholicar

    aerodynamic design, ..bla bla.., but does that car know where we come from, what we are, how we work, what we eat, why we live..? cuz it aint the same thing like us, we're much more inteligent and we are a living creature, the car, building,plane, tank,weapons, computer.. it aint got no soul.. u dumbo face.. hahaha most stupid thing i ever heard was it's nature, atoms and molecules- why everything tends to go towards perfection is unknown.. think twice of it and slap ureself..

  • @pkzghetto

    wtf are you blabbering about, your thinking is on a level of a 2year old, it's no wonder you can't comprehend bigger than your back yard. Now go read a book or something.

  • @Cokoholicar

    Kid i ain got no time for this bullshit, you screen gangsta, what i asked for was proofs, hehe and btw back yard, it's better to know every thing about the "little" back yard, than dreamin about the world and tellin every one in the world you're homemade opinion, yeah i can read a book 'cokoholicar's mom and the 5 thugs'.. Now let me tell U what to do, Go kill yourself, and if u cant, beg someones else to do, you will be doin the world a great favor..

  • @pkzghetto

    what are you from Asia, learn how to write constructive sentences.... I liked the 'screen thug' though, kinda describes me pretty good =) Didn't really like the one about mom.... However I'd still argue we're all a coincidence rather than an intelligent design and if you don't mind I'd like to keep to my opinion thank you very much

  • @rsaran1288 Right on! God has shown his splender through out the earth. 

  • I had 2 of those fuckers crawl under my shirt one time......not fun

  • Oh no, its right wing is chopped in half. :( But I like the video, very beautiful to lok at!

  • @PinkPanthress All insects have four wings (bluebottles have only one pair as their second pair has changed into 'balence sensors'). Most bees' wings are joined together via tiny hooks - or should be - to give them a larger surface for flying.

    The BBC's David Attenborough does some exclent programs on insects

  • OH GOD, I HATE CARPENTER BEES! I was nearly bitten by one. And yes they do bite. Their jaws are very strong to chew through wood. I always hated that annoying buzzing sound when they did that.

  • Here's a beautiful insect.  Here is how to kill it and poison the groundwater.

  • You can slowmo me farting and post a video of that here.... DICKHEADS !!

  • thats beautiful

  • this is a female carpenter bee.

  • cool

  • not to disagree with u...but this is clearly a female Carpenter bee, the bumble bee has yellow striping on the middle of the abdomen and the carpenter has a shiny black hairless abdomen.

  • AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

  • Beautiful

  • the bees right wing IS broken

  • not broken, they have 4 wings and in some insects latch them together in flight. The one 2 wings didnt latch.

  • That bees right wing looks broken

  • This mystery has been solved thanks to high-speed cinematography: Bees flap their wings 230 times per second. The wings make short choppy motions as they flap as well as turn subtly.

  • Buggle wuggles :3:3

  • Super!!!

  • It looks way to fat for those little wings xD

  • thats why the wings move so fast

  • it is, i'm sure you know, that it's scientifically impossible for a bee to fly, God's creation is amazing

  • If someone tells it's scientifically impossible the scientists must have been wrong. If it was wrong there weren't so many bees flying around. It surely isn't any miracle given by god!

  • Well, that's what I heard and what I believe. I think that we could both agree that it's amazing though.

  • dumb

  • wtf do you mean by dumb?

  • It is not God's creation. It is more than 300 billion years of evolution, our engineering is still in diapers.

  • Well the way I see it, no one was there to see evolution or God create the world, they both recquire faith, but the main difference is the acceptance of the Bible.

    And what I was saying about the scientifically impossible, I heard somewhere that scientists did the math to see how the bees could fly w/ the little wings, but it didn't add up.

  • luckily the dinosaurs left fossils for us to find to see how evolution works.

  • The wings of a bumblebee bend to create vortices that provide lift on both the upward and downward strokes, and a full analysis of the bee's flight involves many factors: wing angle, wing deformation, aerodynamic and inertial forces on the wing, and so on. you can learn more by visiting a physics website

  • Garter10895 - In 1934 a french scientist deduced that BASED ON FIXED WING FLIGHT a bee could not fly. He never said anything about it being impossible. It became a common misconception. Since this time, which was 75 years ago by the way, we now know exactly how insect flight is possible.

    By the Garter, go talk to any astronomer, archeologist, geologist, or any scholar that even remotely deals with the past and watch them laugh in your face when you say "no one was there to see evolution".

  • Comment removed

  • Okay that sounds like what I heard or... yeah the wing thing :D

    And that was a shallow comment about evolution, I apologize for that. But doesn't evolution take the same amount of faith as the idea of creation does? (idk if i said that before)

  • @garter10895

    Technically, Faith is confident belief based on the trustworthiness of a source alone. Based on that definition, anything we believe without personal observation is faith-based. Religious faith, however, has recently meant belief without empirical evidence, Evolutionists don't believe in evolution without some degree emirical evidence and physical observation.

  • You're saying that they both have some sort of evidence? (just making sure I didn't misunderstand).

  • No. I am saying religious faith does not require evidence, wheras scientific theories do. The standard of proof for science is much higher than that for religion. If there was 1/2 the amount of evidence for religious beliefs as there was for the theory of evolution, you'd better believe that priests would be shouting from the rooftops that they have definitive proof of the existence of god.

  • Oh I see, I agree... I'm not happy about that... but I agree :D

  • No it doesn't, we see evoloution occour all the time in virus'. That's why if you have the swine flu vacinaiton the virus can mutate to be resistant to the vacination, hence why vacinations for swine flu arn't given out willy nilly to everyone.

  • First off, evolution is adaptation over time, also called macro-evolution. And they do give anyone a swine flu vacination, just so you know...

  • Well, of course no one was there to see evolution, but is it truely possible for a fish to turn into an amphibian if there is no reason for it to? Because at the time of the amphibians going onto land the third (i believe its the third but i may be mistaken) major extiction had already taken place and small plankton feeders had already come into existence, thus there would be no reason for a fish to go to land, and acording to adaptation if there is no reason there is no adaptation

  • @garter

    o hai dood. that's not how that works fyi lol. evolution is a change in population over time - not adaptation. n e ways, scientist guys have been watching bacteria evolve, so they've seen whole populations evolve.

    the whole fishy amphiby thing well, some fish had a mutation and you knoes, stuff happens slowly, and the fishes who were on land and stuff more often started going in more and getting it on with hot looking amphibies and tada. well u can go to FL and see walking catfish lol

  • @Zariell

    I like to pet bumble bees. They're so chubby and furry. They're not even aggressive.

  • @666Leosch Yeah, there's a whole big controversy over that. Scientists have proven that, according to the laws of physics, a bumblebee's wings CANNOT provide enough lift to allow the be to fly. Yet here we see one flying just fine.

  • @FrankiePeanuts Thats old hat.

    Scientist have long ago proven this statement wrong.

    The problem is, people don't know about it yet :D

  • @FrankiePeanuts There is no controversy, look up bumblebee flight, it is very well explained.

  • da wird man neidisch.

  • That's a carpenter bee, probably Xylocopa virginica. Bumble bees and carpenter bees both sting, but only if provoked and only the females. The males do not have any sting.

  • I got stung by one of these just for opening my car door. I hate them.

  • Bumble Bees don't sting.

  • This was done at just the right speed, Bumblebees rule, We have hundreds on our passion flowers, dingbats are younoobs, thanks ultraslowmo.

  • 1. Bumble bees AREN'T completely black, dunno what species this is.

    2. Of course they can fly you fucking retards. I see hundreds of them every spring, they do not struggle to fly in any way.

  • HAHAHA considering there is yellow right on the front of it you fucking douche

  • some scientists say that physically it's not possible to fly for those little sweethearts, because they're to fat

  • Where those scientists are going wrong in their calculations is assuming the wings remain flat. As you can see in the video, they actually bend and curl, creating little puffs of extra lift.

  • could do with being a bit faster

  • Ultraslow for a reason... not just a bit a slow

  • too slow

  • I dont get it... "so one second of real time turns into 133 seconds of screen time yes i do mean that one second is over two minuts. "

    so this 30 second youtube video is only .20 seconds of real life flying just slowed down?. the bee flaps its wings like 18 times in 20 milliseconds?!?

  • Yes that's it. we have counted 133 beats per second of a bumble and carpenter bee wings per second.

  • @Coryf1989 how else do you think those itty bitty wings hold the whole bee up?

  • @Coryf1989

    It's useful to understand that they don't beat their wings like we swing our arms. Their wings work more like a vibrating rubber band. My understanding is that their wings even beat faster than the nerve impulses could trigger muscle movement, and that the muscles receive the impulse to vibrate every few cycles, kind of like a boxer hitting a speed bag in the gym.

  • Comment removed

  • @Coryf1989 I count 9 beats in the first 10 sec of youtube video and then the video go even slower until speed =0...difficult to estimate. (then for you .20 seconds is 200 milliseconds...) so about 18 beats in this video 20 s (estimate due to video slow down) -> 133 ms 1000/133*18 = 135 beats per second for the bumble bee.

    Only ultraslo can confirm this real speed! But, he already told us 133 beats per second.

  • @naxosi I need to go back and look. I do not have those files here now so it will take a while for me to do that. Please remind me if it is not posted in a few week.

    Enjoy

  • @ultraslo "1 month ago"

    Time to post! :D

  • @Coryf1989 Number I heard for Listverse is 230 flaps per second.

  • this would be complete with the music "Flight of the Bumble Bee" playin in the background.

  • Meh, too cliched.

  • DUDE WHERES THE ROBOT?

  • thts so slo

  • That aint a bumble bee

  • Thats incredible.

  • its not bird?

  • This bee is not a bumle bee it is a carpenter bee look at the end it is a buffed black color a bumble bee has yellow and black hairy hiney. that is the diffrence. other then that it is so pretty

  • What did you shoot it with?

  • with a mircroscopic gun

  • is it missing its left hind wing?

  • i think the right wing is broken

  • yeah, somethings definately not right

  • Bees have four wings; two larger fore wings and two smaller hind wings. The hind wings normally link to the fore wings by a series of tiny hooks on their leading edge, so the two wings on each side function as one. This has worked on the left side but, for some reason, the hind wing on the right has disconnected and is flapping separately. Probably not a permanent problem.

  • zZZzzZZZZZzZZZZZZzzZZ... Wut just happa.....n..... ZzzZZZZZZzZzzZzZ.

  • all that in a quarter of a second.

  • your video quality is awesome what did you film it on thanks

    trish

  • Bumble Bees shouldn´t fly according to static aerodynamics. The reason they can fly has been found in the characeristic unsteady wing movement causing dynamic stall. Due to the high frequency, a vortex is building up every time the wing goes down. That leads to a non-linear increase of the lift-to wingarea-ratio.

  • someones been reading wikipedia!!

  • daym that guys a genius

  • ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzz....

    ...wha'?............zzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • Comment removed

  • lol 4:45

  • lol nice try

  • ITS FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How bizarrely astute you are in spite of yourself... flying f**ks are actually what carpenter bees do!

  • hahaha

  • In fact it's a carpenter bee which nests in bore holes it makes in wooden structures not a bumble bee. Unlike the social bees (such as the honey bee an bumble bee) it is a solitary bee.

  • hahaha

  • who the fuck cares dude. just look at the wings

  • Their wings in proportion to it's body, looking at it from a scientifical angle, it should not be able to fly.

  • yeah - but you havent seemed to take into account the fact that its wings are beating at god knows how many times per second - displacing that much air in such a short time...

  • And don't forget about magic.

  • its all about magic XD

  • WOWZA!! I love to pat bumblebees while they're at rest ~ such lovely wee creatures...

  • wow. and to think thats not even one second of real-time

  • Also when you are that tiny, air would be much denser than when it is much larger, air molecules in relation to size, that also contributes to it's flight.

  • Uh...not sure where you're getting that info from, but the air doesn't become less dense because it's smaller. The air's the same density no matter the size of the creature in it. The density of the creature on the other hand...

    I know someone said, "Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know that."

    Essentially, it was thought that their wings worked like any other bugs' but as people now know, their wings go back an forth more than up and down.

  • Damn I wrong for writing that. Sorry about that.

    I was imagining a tub full of marbles, they act as molecules. Molecules don't change in size and so does air density, throw in a baseball in the tub full of marbles, and throw in a basketball, and they both act differently.

    So when you are the size of a bee, air behaves differently for you at that size, a bee the size of a bird would act differently as well.

    I think I tried to say that but failed at it. Thanks for the reply.

  • Air feels "thicker" to smaller animals, yes? :*)

  • 00:31 seconds was the best part!

  • there is no 00:31. that's more than the end of the clip!

  • i am wondering why call a bee this not a bird??

  • It's a bee.

  • Can' t you just get a life instead of writing shit on this video?

  • Says the fellow who is leaving a comment on the video....

  • Looks like a carpenter bee to me

  • its not bird?

  • dope, when the wings get to the front, do they turn around when they come back ?

  • coooooooooool :)

  • dude i would so bone that bee

  • .............. i will join you???
