An air conditioner inside bee

It's really amazing to find the best air conditioner in the world inside a small bee!! Without that conditioner bee would die and becomes incapable to produce honey…

Recently, scientists discovered that inside the bee there is a very complicated system to organize its temperature; we think the bee is an irrational creature but in fact it can detect the ambient temperature to adjust its own which is normally from 28 to 32 degree centigrade [1],that is so important to keep life of small bees. Any increase or decrease in temperature more or less the average will cause the death of small bees. Glory to Allah!!!

If temperature increases more than 32C, bee starts to shake its wings in order to fan and cool the small bees. And if temperature became less than 28C bees vibrate their wing muscles to shunt heat down to their abdomen, According to Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology magazine the scientists had performed an experiment by reducing the temperature around the bee by ten degrees and despite that, bees had easily raised their temperature to about 30c.

"You can see them shiver to transfer the heat," says Sean O'Donnell of the University of Washington in the US.

Glory to Allah!! How can this small creature adjust its temperature? and who taught her that mechanism?

Scientists have no answer about that precise mechanism which adjusts the temperature of bees. Those scientists may say that the mechanism is done by nature or evolution but Allah almighty told us about mechanism in bees in saying: (And your Lord inspired the bees, saying: "Take you habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they erect.*Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you)." There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think.)(Sûrat An-Nahl- verse68-69).

From that verse we can conclude the following:

1. The word "inspired" means that Allah almighty is the only one who taught the bee everything not the nature or evolution.

2. Also, Allah almighty says "inspired" which is in the past which means that He almighty did that and no one in the future will be able to change what He almighty did.

3. By that inspiration He almighty enabled the bee to live on earth to serve human by producing Honey.

Therefore, scientists confirm that without this precise system for temperature detection and organizing bees wouldn't be able to live on earth and produce honey.
