Comb construction depends on the existence of wax. The fact that this substance, ideal for the making of combs, is produced by bees is in itself a proof of creation.

Evolutionists maintain that bees didn't possess this attribute at the time they first came into existence, and that all their attributes and behaviors came into being gradually, as the result of a series of coincidences. It will now be useful to consider the unfounded nature of these claims by asking a number of questions that demand answers.

First of all, how did bees discover the ingredients of beeswax-which consists of a substance completely unknown to them?

How is it that every single bee has been able to employ the same formula for millions of years?

How did bees manage to form the glands and organs necessary to produce such an ideal material as beeswax within their own bodies?

Assume for a moment that bees somehow managed to generate beeswax, the raw material for their combs. But that success has no meaning in isolation, because at the same time, the bee must also possess all the technical knowledge and competence for the construction work it will perform.

Also assume-no matter how impossible this may actually be-that by chance, a bee did come into possession of all these attributes. That is still not enough. The bee in question would also need to teach its knowledge to the other members of the colony, which must form the necessary systems for producing beeswax in their own bodies. Moreover, that bee also has to transmit this information and system of production to subsequent generations.

Producing wax is a rather difficult, laborious process. Honeybees extract it from their wax glands in pieces no larger than a pinhead. The photos show bees making honeycombs.	Above: Honeybees beginning construction work. In order to obtain the necessary temperature for the production of wax, the bees first cling together, raising the temperature. They then shape the wax in their mouths and construct the comb, which consists of perfectly hexagonal cells.

In addition, bees must also know about division of labor that lets them all work together. It is not enough for every bee to possess the knowledge and competence to construct combs; they also need the conscious intelligence with which to establish the requisite organization. Such questions as how bees carry out that organization-and how communication is established 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 answered.

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, entirely by chance. This extraordinary construction ability is compatible neither 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 instance, 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 question. 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 hearing 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)
