The worker bee becomes exhausted after working
                non-stop for another 2 to 3 weeks and dies.

                    During their brief lives, the bees work non-stop. In
                addition, no one teaches them the work that they are
                supposed to do. They start to work straight after
                birth. Just think, if a new-born baby were to get out
                of its bed, first make its bed, wash up, and then

                begin to take care of the other babies; wash them,
                feed them, dress them. Isn’t this just impossible?
                Yet, bees manage such an impossible task, because
                Allah has created them with the capabilities to do so.



                The Honey Bees that Dance


                    Did anyone ever tell you that bees have a dance?
                Some bees look for a food source outside the beehive.
                After flying about all day long, they find their own
                source and take with them as much royal jelly as

                they can, and then they return to their hive. There is
                still a lot more royal jelly left at the source but the
                bee cannot collect it all without the help of the other
                bees. The scout bee keeps the location of the food

                source in mind and quickly returns to the hive to
                gather its friends. It starts to make moves that
