Recently came across the play "Humble Boy," which contains the conceit that bumblebees shouldn’t be able to fly and don’t obey the laws of physics, but they fly anyway.
Except (1) bumblebees are able to fly, and (2) their flight capability is quite well understood.
Where did the conceit first start?
Anyway, the illustrative poster for Humble Boy shows a queen bee from Apis, not from Bombus.
