After the worker bees cap the larva's chamber, it enters the pupal stage and remains in its cell for 12 days.7 During that time, no external change can be observed in the cell. Yet within it, the pupa is constantly developing. Three weeks after the queen bee laid the egg in the cell, its wax cover is torn open, and a honeybee emerges, ready to fly. The pupa's outer shell remains in the cell as a dead, cast-off sheath.

The honeybee that emerges from the cell begins its life span of six weeks or so as a result of these developmental stages it has undergone.8 The bee emerges from the cell as an entirely new creature, resembling neither the larva nor the pupa. With the completion of its final stage of development, the bee emerges from the pupa with all the perfect systems it will need in order to survive-a phenomenon that deserves consideration. Every structure and attribute the bee possesses has formed inside a small, entirely closed area. Its specially structured wings it will use to travel long distances, the compound eyes created for all the functions they will perform, the sting it will use against enemies, its glands, the system which enables the production of wax, its reproductive system, the leg hairs that allow it to gather pollen-in other words, all its physical systems develop within its cocoon during the pupal stage.

During the pupal stage, all of a bee’s adult physical characteristics form in a confined area. When a bee emerges, its wings, eyes and all of its physical systems are ready for life in the outside world.

How did the pupa turn into a bee? How did the growth stages of the bee first emerge? Who or what defined that process? Was it the bee itself-or chance, as evolutionists would have us believe-or a more powerful force than either of these?

The answer to these questions is clear. It is absurd to claim that the insect inside the cocoon could carry out the necessary changes within itself, in full knowledge of what it will need in the outside world. It's totally out of the question for the eye or digestive system, or substances such as enzymes and hormones, to form inside a pupa that develops as a result of happenstance changes in itself. Neither can there be any question of an external intervention in the pupa.

During the pupal stage, neither chance nor the bee itself enables the perfect completion of each of the bee's organs, with all the functions they will require. Such a flawless development can only be performed by a superior and matchless Power-God, Who is matchless in creation.

Every bee emerges from the cell with all its bodily structures fully formed. Neither happenstance nor the bee itself can bring this about.

When a bee opens the cover of its cell and emerges, its hairs are wet for the first few moments. Shortly afterwards, its hairs dry and the bee begins to perform its duties in the hive.
