What Do Evolutionists Think about the Construction

of the Combs?
Like all other living things, honeybees have their own unique
forms of behavior that are full of questions for evolutionists. They have no
answer to a great many questions, such as the combs made by honeybees
and the communication among bees, simply because it is impossible to ac-
count for bees’ social lives and attributes in terms of evolutionary mecha-
nisms.
In a number of statements, Charles Darwin admitted that he found it
difficult to explain the behavior of bees and ants, known as “social in-
sects” because of the way they live in colonies, in terms of the mechanisms
of his theory. In one question he asks in The Origin of Species, Darwin em-
phasizes the inconsistency of the theory he originated with regard to in-
stincts:

Can instincts be acquired and modified through natural selection? What shall
we say to the instinct which leads the bee to make cells, and which has practi-
cally anticipated the discoveries of profound mathematicians? 121

The Comb’s General Structure

If one divides a comb down the
middle, a most interesting vista
opens up. The comb has a parti-
tion wall that, like the other parts
of the comb, is made from wax and
forms a common foundation for the mir-
ror-image cells on both sides. The common
floor of the cells is not level, but a series of
depressions are made to fit into each other
in order to save space. The side walls of There is a most regular structure in the
combs, so that the honey and larvae never
become intermingled.
