This beekeeper explores a chapter dedicated to honey bees in the Islamic holy text. She identifies three fascinating points from this section. First, honey is described with healing properties and in various colors. Second, the hive's synergy is emphasized, where every bee contributes, highlighting the importance of hard work and dedication. Lastly, the noticeable use of female verbs in the Arabic text to describe honeybees foreshadows scientific discoveries regarding their predominantly female society. From both a religious and secular standpoint, the speaker finds these connections intriguing.

The Quran mentions bees in the following verses:

1. Surah An-Nahl (16:68-69): "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."

2. Surah An-Nahl (16:69): "Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought."

These verses highlight the guidance and wisdom in the creation of bees and the benefits derived from their activities.
