The Female Honey Bee
✨
Did You Know?
The Quran specifically uses feminine language when referring to bees that make honey, accurately describing a biological fact that wasn't discovered until centuries later - all worker bees are female.
وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا
And your Lord inspired the female bee to take for herself dwellings in mountains, trees, and in that which they construct. Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down...
Quran 16:68-69
