The power source is about 30 times heavier than the bee can carry. Here's for hoping that they absolutely never are able to make this project work.
What? You don’t want bad actors hacking the bees and sending them inside your ears to cause fatal internal damage? Why are you against progress?!
Alright. You convinced me lol

Will happen anyway, so rather embrace it as early as possible so that we would be those bad actors and not the sucker good actors on the receiving end.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyways. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Unfortunately, even though it sounds adorable, that's a myth. There's nothing about bees or bumblebees that would make their flight theoretically problematic.
