I heard that a collision between a plane and a bee can be

Is that true ?
I have a hard time imagining a common scenario where this could
happen. A bee hitting an airplane will usually just go Splat!
A few years ago I had the misfortune of riding my motorcycle through
a swarm of large bumble bees at 85 mph. The impacts were a little
painful, but certainly not dangerous. The worst part was having to
spend about 15 min. digging fried bee goo out of the cooling fins on my
cylinders.
