As a rule, bees can no longer fly when the temperature is too low, for example in severe frost or during the night. They require a minimum temperature and sufficient daylight to be active and fly.
The idea that bees physically cannot fly is based on a misunderstanding of the aerodynamics of their wings. While the flight behavior of bees is complex, they have the ability to fly and do so very efficiently, flapping their wings in rapid succession to create lift.
Bees are able to fly so well because their wing movements and body structure give them the ability to fly efficiently. Their wings beat at high frequency, creating lift that allows them to stay in the air and maneuver. Bees are also relatively light and have special flight muscles that are optimized for their ability to fly.
