The Fascinating System of Honeybees
The homes of honeybees, known as hives, are incredibly organized and astonishing. Their hives function like the kingdom of a developed nation, where everything is carried out with discipline, leaving no room for disorder or flaws.
Thousands or even millions of bees live together, governed by a leader called the "queen bee" (Yasub). This queen is larger in size and stature than other bees and leads them effectively. The queen assigns responsibilities to all bees, and each bee performs its duty with dedication and commitment.
Bees construct their hives in a beautiful and robust hexagonal design. This design is so uniform and precise that it seems as though it was crafted by an expert engineer. All the cells have equal length, width, and depth.
Under the queen's supervision, some bees lay eggs, some produce honey, others prepare wax, and some are tasked with bringing water or ensuring security. No stranger bee is allowed to enter their hives, and every bee diligently fulfills its responsibilities.
Bees collect nectar from flowers and store it in their hives. They travel miles across forests and fields in search of nectar, yet they never forget their way back to the hive and return effortlessly.
Honeybees produce honey in various colors and flavors, such as red, white, yellow, or black. The color and taste of the honey vary according to the seasons and the types of flowers.
Bees build their hives on trees, mountains, wall crevices, or even underground, and everywhere they maintain the same discipline. If any bee violates the queen's rules, it is punished, and rebellious bees are expelled from the hive.
Honeybees are exceptionally clean creatures. They never sit on filth, and if a bee does so, the queen imposes strict punishment, sometimes expelling or even killing the offender.
This remarkable creation not only showcases the beauty of nature's system but also teaches us important principles such as unity, hard work, cleanliness, and discipline.
