Here are some flying speeds of some of our pollinators, these do vary between species and with 1,400 species of bats and 15,000-20,000 species of butterflies do you really want to be that specific? 😅 The wind and rain can be a factor to speed, also for bees weighed down by fat pollen pants.
Honeybees - 15-20mph
Bumblebees - 6-10mph
Butterflies - 5-12mph - the fastest butterfly in the world can reach 37mph 😱
Yellow jackets - 6-7mph
Hornets - 15-25mph
Bats - 60-65mph
Robyn - 30-35mph
House sparrow - 17-24mph
It's amazing to think there's not much in it between a honeybee and a house sparrow, and I bet you didn’t know yellow jackets were that slow 🐝🐝
