Using calculus you can determine the flight path of a ball thrown to you and calculate the intercept point, but that's not how people catch objects in flight.

Catching a ball is reactive. I place my hand where I see the ball is going to be. The bees are not reacting. Their "decision" to set the displacement at 35% must be made before they start - not after they see the ball in the air. It is a wholly different matter.

No it is not, and if you can't see that there's no point in continuing. You keep on believing that bees do calculus.
