I would really like to hear your feedback and thoughts!
well, not the back of the bus, but the front of the cab, maybe (typo?). i don't know enough about bumble bees to say whether or not it would be able to stop itself in time, or if aerodynamic drag would be strong enough, but assuming it was unable to slow itself down, newtons first law says that it would.
