Researchers in France observed #bumblebees travelling over great distances by hitching lifts on passenger airlines.
Queens, males and worker females were all recorded engaging in this behaviour - one anomaly was the very few numbers of female workers with full pollen baskets observed in recent years.
Scientists surmise this was possibly due to limitations on carry-on baggage allowance and excess charges by airlines.
