Abu-Salman Posted June 8, 2009 Touche Peasant, Bees communicate through "dancing", that is the basic answer. Yet, these wonderful creatures enhance their communications methods and plan for contingencies through the simulatneous use of the Earth magnetic field, Sun's ultraviolet emission as well as even visaul reperes to ensure we never run short of hive' products such as honey which varied medicinal properties are now being rediscovered by western scientists, products which were already part and parcel of the pharmacopeia of such celebrated physicians as the ancient Egyptians etc As for the Qur'aan, with a whole eponymous Surah ("An Nahl", or The Bees), it serves as a signpost to reminds us of our ingrained tendency to take things for granted... PS: if "guts" function as bioreactors using bacteria to digest food etc, then shouldn't acarian mites got one of the smallest ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
