A Mighty Flier by Kelly Hashway 
What is two inches tall, can hover in mid-air, and flies 
in every direction including backwards? It’s not an insect. 
The answer is the bee hummingbird. 
Most hummingbirds are about three to five inches long. 
But the bee hummingbird is only five centimeters, or 
approximately two inches, making it the smallest species of 
bird alive today. Really it isn’t bigger than a large insect. But don’t let its tiny body fool you. 
This bird is a fierce flier. It can beat its wings up to 80 times per second. If you ever see one in 
flight, you’ll notice its wings are just a blur to the human eye. Hummingbirds are also the only 
vertebrates that can hover in one place. Add to that being able to fly backwards and upside 
down, and these creatures are amazing flying machines. 
And being a master flier isn’t the only one of the bee hummingbird’s talents. The bee 
hummingbird does a great job performing its part in plant reproduction. During the course of a 
single day, the bee hummingbird can visit up to 1,500 flowers. And just like a bee, when the bee 
hummingbird drinks nectar from the flowers, pollen is transferred from the flower to the bird’s 
body. This pollen is carried to the next flower. Transferring pollen from one flower to another 
helps plants make seeds. 
Besides drinking nectar, bee hummingbirds eat insects. In fact, they eat about half their 
body mass each day. But what’s more impressive is that they drink eight times their body mass 
every day. This is why they live in areas where there are gardens and shrubbery. These tiny birds 
are found primarily in Cuba, but some have been spotted in Jamaica and Haiti as well. 
Despite its size, there’s no arguing that the bee hummingbird is a mighty flier.
