the combs. Clearly, the comb is a special structure, and it is nonsensical to
imagine that it could have come into being by chance. Every stage in the life
of bees is a manifestation of the infinite might and creative artistry of God.
Bees’ Unbelievable Calculations
To better understand the miraculous nature of what bees do, imagine
that you have a number of bricks of exactly the same dimensions. It will be
easy enough for you, working together with a friend, to lay these out in a
straight line, building from opposite ends at once. There is a likelihood,
however, that when you reach the middle, there will be a gap left over,
smaller than the size of any single brick. This you can resolve by breaking
one of the bricks and filling in the gap.
But assume that you want to do this the way bees do in building their
combs—without breaking any bricks, apart from those at the extremities.
(Bees only use half-hexagons at the comb edges, because of the hexagon’s
geometric form.) What will you do then? In other words, you are allowed
to break the bricks only at the ends, in the same way that bees do with
their hexagons. You have to use the rest of the bricks whole, again in the
same way as bees.
In order to do this, you’ll need to make some calculations. You cannot
succeed if you simply go about the task randomly. Several preliminary
steps will be necessary for success, including:
