Can bees "fly" a plane?

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.

So that's 1,394,370,371 bees needed! But would they all fit on the surface area of the underside of a Boeing 737-300? This is more important than some may realise, particularly in my house.

Methinks not. Probably have to suspend the plane. Also maybe a height problem re thickness of the air.
