627,466,667 bees should be able to lift a fully loaded Boeing 737-300 ( about 90 milligrams each). Personally wouldn't like to be depending on them holding it up if I was an aircraft engineer working on the undercarriage though!

I dont think they would be able to hold a plane up - their wings are on their backs, so if the plane was resting on them, they wouldnt be able to flap them.
Anyway, imagine if the bees suddenly noticed a strange cloud formation in the shape of a massive flower? The plane would be rightly fecked then.
Hey, you might be reported to the union for making slanderous remarks627,466,667 "worker" bees to be precise. No public service bees.

You're right...it'd take far fewer public service bees.

You'd need to have them flying above the plane and pulling it with a micro rope.
It’s more than double this number: your calculation assumes a bee can carry its own weight of 90 milligrammes, but, AFAIK, the max amount of nectar a bee can carry is about 45% of its weight.627,466,667 bees should be able to lift a fully loaded Boeing 737-300 ( about 90 milligrams each).
