"It's mathematically impossible for bees to fly..

Worse than a wife's tale, it's 'school-teacher-talk.

In truth, I said it tongue in cheek..
I realize since that cliche about bees flying was made, science has determined the mechanism which makes it possible..

I was simply trying to make a point in a humorous way..
