Qur'an - Honey Bee

In the Arabic language, words and verbs have feminine/masculine forms.  In the following verses, all references to the bee and the actions that are performed are in the "female" form of the words!  In other words, Qur'an is informing us that all the described tasks are performed by the female bees.  This fact was known 1400 years ago.  Qur'an describes:  building of the cells (hives), eating the nectar, the "dance" to find the ways to the flowers, and producing honey.  Interestingly, it tells us that honey has healing power! 

The verse uncovers the fact that Allah has bestowed upon the bee the wisdom to construct its hive. Remarkably, the bees skillfully construct their hives with astonishing precision. They work in four distinct groups, commencing from the corners, and adeptly create hexagons that gradually converge towards the center. In an extraordinary accomplishment, they all reach the center simultaneously, resulting in flawlessly crafted hexagonal structures. This intricate endeavor showcases an awe-inspiring demonstration of intricate engineering, demanding meticulous design, precise calculations, efficient management, seamless coordination, and effective communication.

​وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحْلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِى مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ

And thy Lord taught the Bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men's) habitations; 16:68

ثُمَّ كُلِى مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ فَٱسْلُكِى سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colors, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought. 16:69
