P2_4 Thinking Bee

Abstract

In this paper, we calculate the number of bees needed to carry a powerless plane from cruising altitude to the airport after a technical fault as seen in the film Bee Movie, as well as finding the number of bees needed on the airport tarmac showing the pilot where to land. These values were found to be 5.3×10^9 bees and 4.2 million bees respectively.
