Abstract

Allah is the Creator of Everything "???? ???? ?? ???" Holy Quran (39, 63),

The Eusociality, the social life, the social behavior in the honeybee colony is a

fascinating and an advanced highly social behavior comparable to the developed

human being social life, but it is taking as superior for the grand Apidology scientists.

This highly social organized life is controlled by Hormones in the blood (hemolymph)and Pheromones circulated by contact (touch) or by the air (odor) through the hive space. In the honeybee colony there are three different individuals: the Queen, the Drones and

the Workers, it means three castes or two real castes, because scientifically the drones aren’t considered as a real caste because they aren’t existing in the colony all around the year. All three categories are essential for the hive to thrive, and they are all very different, each contributing and playing a unique role, the queen bee is responsible essentially for laying eggs, and controlling the harmony and the sustainability of the colony, the Drones who are the male bees in the hive their only purpose to be alive is to mate with the queen. But the multi tasked individual is the worker.

We are now in this article focusing on the honeybee worker, his life, development,

tasks, responsibilities and activities with the time while growing up and advancing in age from the egg till the end of life. It has a lifespan (8 weeks, 6-8 Months).

We will see the highly social comportment, activities and the moving from work to

another like a sane trained expert.

Inside the hive(house-worker): When a worker bee is firstborn as adult, she cleans

herself and her cell, it is now cleaner, undertaker, babysitter, nurse, queen’s attendant (feeding her, defending her, cleaning her), wax producer, honey processor, Pollen packing bee, Propolizing, honeycomb builder, Royal Jelly producer, bee venom producer, Pheromones producer, heat producer, Fanning bee, Mortuary bees, guarding the hive entrance, hive defender, all those works realized inside the hive till she attained 20 days old. Outside the hive (Field worker, Forager): at the age of 21 days, it becomes a field worker called Forager, it collects Nectar, Pollen, propolis and water. The worker bees who cater to the queen every need - and do all the other works in the hive and in field too, it has all what we can imagine of systems that it has all the bodies of the big creatures in Kingdom Animalia!!! It is a fascinating behavior that this very tiny insect which doesn’t weight more than 100 milligrams conducting and doing all over its life (6-8 weeks in spring and summer) so hard works and moving from task to another while progressing in age and getting older. Who can imagine that? this tiny creature can pass her lifetime all those stages and do all those works without any previous experiences or training?? No one creature on the earth even the man can do all those fine jobs without a lot of training and learning!!! The confusing question is canning all those organized works and the many complex behaviors of this small insect come by chance and without the interference of a creative creator?!!!! The atheist stands tight!!!! the Quran is a witness by suratu-nah and in it the verse An-nahl:” And your Lord inspired to the bee…” Holy Quran (16, 70).

“????? ??? ??? ?????...” (???? ?????-70)

Surah An-nahl.
