Allah, the Almighty says in the holy Qur’an:(translation of meaning)

“And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses, and among the trees and [in] that which they construct.Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought. " (Nahl or the Bee: 16: 68-69)

In Arabic, the bee is written as "Nahl" in the same way both for male and female. This word has no feminine form. However, the Qur'an uses the feminine form of the verb when it gives information about the inspiration which is given to the bee and what the bee does. Verbs in the Arabic language are conjugated in different ways according to the gender. This is also valid in many other languages of the world. When what the bee does is narrated in the Qur'an, the verb is conjugated in the feminine form. It is as follows:

1- In the verse, in order to express the meaning "make habitation", the word , (ittakhithi) which is used for the feminine, is preferred instead of , (ittakhith) which is used for the masculine.

2- In order to express the meaning "eat of all fruits", the word of كُلِي, (kuly) which is used for the feminine, is preferred instead of كُلْ, (kul) which is used for the masculine.

3- In order to express the meaning "follow the ways of your Lord", the word of اُسْلُكِي, (uslukiy) which is used for the feminine, is preferred instead of اُسْلُكْ, (usluk) which is used for the masculine.

4- The pronoun "their" in the sentence "There comes forth from their bellies" is expressed with the word هَا, (ha) which refers to the feminine instead of the word هُ, (hu) which refers to the masculine.

So, the deeds which are mentioned by the Qur'an as making habitation, that is building the honeycomb, eating of all fruits in order to collect the nectar, following the ways of Allah which is inspired and giving the honey from bellies are performed by the female bee.

However, it was impossible for the people to know the division of labour in the honeycomb at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an.

Today, scientists acknowledge that the brain of one single bee contains more than 850,000cells and that the size of their brain is smaller than the head of a pin! In every cell of this brain, there’s a small computer inside which there’s a highly accurate program which guides bees to perform their tasks as if they are pre-programmed creatures whose task is to collect food and make honey.

The revealed facts in the above verses are exactly consistent with modern science .All glory be to Allah, the Exalted.
