as how bees carry out that organization—and how communication is es-
tablished among them and how it is that no confusion ever emerges
among the tens of thousands of bees in the dark hive—still need to be an-
swered.
All rational people need to employ their conscience and ponder the
conditions set out in general terms above. It’s of course not possible for an
insect like the bee to have come into possession of the necessary attributes
for making combs, and using these in the most advantageous manner, en-
tirely by chance. This extraordinary construction ability is compatible nei-
ther with the size of the bee, nor with its brain capacity, nor with its reason
and consciousness.

Let us consider the bees’ abilities by comparing them with man’s.
Could a person possessing reason and intelligence create a new secretion
that would be of benefit, in his own body, of his own will? Could he, for in-
stance, design a new system that allows the saliva glands inside his body
to produce glue? Everyone realizes that such a feat is quite out of the ques-
tion. Is it therefore reasonable to expect a bee to be able to do what human
beings cannot?
Neither the bee nor any other living thing on Earth can add new organs
to its body at will, nor make them produce entirely new secretions. The
physical structures and miraculous abilities in bees clearly prove that they
were brought into existence by a Creator. Like all other living things on
Earth, bees were created by God, Who manifests peerless examples of His
intellect in bees, in order that humans should think about and learn from
them. God is All-Powerful. A rational person’s responsibility is to listen to
his conscience, turn to God, our Creator, in all that he does, and to lead his
life in the light of His commands:

Say: “Who provides for you out of heaven and Earth? Who controls hear-
ing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the dead
from the living? Who directs the whole affair?” They will say, “God.”
Say, “So will you not guard against evil?” (Surah Yunus: 31)
