I heard that a collision between a plane and a bee can be devastating.

Is that true ?

E = MC(sq)

energy involved is a function of the mass of the bodies times the square
of
the closing velocity. with nearly zero mass compared to the aircraft, it
would be hard to imagine a bee doing any serious damage to an aircraft

If the bee was going the speed of light, it might cause some damage.
