  • No, bees cannot fly higher than Mount Everest.
  • It’s a Common Myth that Bees can fly higher than Mount Everest but its not True.
  • Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world, with its peak reaching an elevation of 29,032 feet (8,849 meters) above sea level. Bees, like most insects, have limitations when it comes to flying at high altitudes. They are adapted for low-altitude flight and are not capable of flying at such extreme heights.

Bees typically fly close to the ground, foraging for nectar and pollen from flowers. Their flight abilities are well-suited for their ecological niche, but they would not be able to fly anywhere near the height of Mount Everest. Insects like bees rely on the density of air for their flight, and the thin air at extreme altitudes would make it impossible for them to sustain flight.
