Eli5: when traveling on a boat going 40 mph, how can a bee hover with the boat if it wasn’t already in motion?

Question

I get that when you throw a ball in the air while traveling, it will go up at the same speed you’re moving at, but for a bee to be going on about it’s business like it’s nothing, traveling at 40 mph.. it doesn’t make any sense

Answer 1

40mph is seriously quick for a boat! I guess it was being dragged in by some kind of air current/slipstream
