That is to say, could they get enough forward thrust to push themselves along, without taking off? Maybe with like a little perch to hang onto…

    There’s nothing in the laws of physics that precludes it. Skateboards can be extremely light and have ball bearings with extremely little friction. It’s not all that unusual for a strong breeze to make a board start rolling all by itself

      Quite right. It’s only bees 🐝 that are prohibited from skateboarding by the laws of physics.

        According to all known laws of skateboarding, there is no way a bee should be able to do a kickflip. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body rolling over the ground.
