How do Bees and Flies Fly?

Well, to understand how Bees and Flies fly, we have to understand the basic forces. First, when the bee pushes the wings down, it is pushing the air down also, which in turn pushes the bee up. The upward motion of the bee is done in a different manner in order to cancel the upward motion or go upward. When Bees have to stay stable in the air, they cancel their upward motion by repeating the up and down of their wings. Flies and Bees usually flap their wings 10-20 times a second, in order to lift their heavy Body, in comparison to the wings.

Flies also fly this way, but faster, because their bodies are lighter as compared to bees, and also they flap at a bit higher speed. Thus giving them the speed, that helped them escape, whenever we tried to catch them.
That's how their flight mechanism work
