HONEY BEE, LIFE WITH DRINK FROM PARADISE

Surely everyone already knows about honey, honey that is the important source of food for the human body, while only a few people who realize the extraordinary quality of the producers, the honey bee.

As we know, the food source is nectar bees that are not found during the winter. For this reason, they combine the nectar collected in the summer time with special secretions of their bodies, producing a new nutrient - honey - and store them for winter coming months.

It is noted that the amount saved by honey bees is much greater than they actually need. The first question that comes to mind is why bees do not give up this "excess production", which seems a waste of time and energy for them? The answer to this question is hidden in the "inspiration" in the paragraph has been given bee.

Bees produce honey not only for themselves but also for people. Bees, like many other creatures of nature, is also dedicated to human services, the same as chickens lay eggs at least one day does not even need it, and the cows that produce more milk than its offspring needs.

EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION

Bees that live in the hive and honey production is interesting. Without going too much detail, let us find the basic features of the "social life" of bees. Bees must carry out many "tasks" and they manage it all with very good organization.

Humidity regulation and ventilation: The humidity of the hive, which provides protection is very high quality honey, should be kept in certain limits. If the humidity is over or under the limit, then the honey is spoiled and lose the protection of the quality and nutritious. Similarly, the temperature in the hive must be 32 ° C for 10 days in the year. To maintain the temperature and humidity in the hive in certain limits, the costs of the special group "ventilation".

On a hot day, bees ventilating easily observed in the hive. The entrance of the hive fills with bees and clamping themselves to the structure of wood, they make a hive with their wings. In a standard hive, air entering from one side were forced to leave from the other side. Extra ventilator bees work in the hive to push the air to all corners of the hive.

Ventilation system is also useful to protect the hive from smoke and air pollution.

The health system: The efforts of the bees to maintain the quality of honey are not limited to the humidity and heat regulation. The health system is perfect in the hive to keep all activities that can result in production of the bacteria under control. The main objective of this system is to remove all substances likely cause bacteria production. Basic principles of the health system is to prevent foreign objects entering the hive. To secure this, two guardians are always kept at the entrance of the hive. If a foreign substance or insect enters the hive despite this precaution, all bees act to remove it from the hive.

How do bees know that this is the substance of the ideal substance for embalming? How do bees produce a substance, which can only be produced in the laboratory with the human condition and the use of technology if it has a certain level of knowledge about chemistry? How do they know that a dead insect causes bacteria production and that embalming will prevent this?

For a foreign object is greater that can not be removed from the hive, another protection mechanism is used. Bees "embalm" these foreign objects. They produce a substance called "propolis (bee resin)" with those who carry "embalming" process. Produced by adding special secretions to Resins they collect from trees like pine, Poplar and acacia, the bee resin is also used to patch cracks in the hive. Once applied to the cracks by bees, the resin dries as it reacts with air and form a hard surface. Thus, it can be against all forms of external threat. Bees use this substance in most of their work.

At this time, many questions spring to mind. Propolis has the feature that is not allowing any bacteria to live in it. This makes propolis ideal for embalming materials.

And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread about there are signs for people with certainty. (Surat Al-Jathiyah: 4)

It is clear that bees do not have any knowledge about this, and a laboratory in the body.

Bees are the only insects the size of 1-2 cm and not only with the God who has revealed it.

MAXIMUM STORAGE WITH MINIMUM MATERIAL

Bees build hives 30,000 bees can live and work together by establishing a small part of beeswax.

Hive that consists of beeswax-walled honeycombs, which has hundreds of small cells in each of their faces. All honeycomb cell size is the same. Engineering miracle is achieved by the collective work of thousands of bees. Bees use the cells for food storage and maintenance of young bees.

Bees have been using the hexagonal structure for the development of honeycombs for millions of years. (A bee fossil has been found dating from 100 million years ago). It is surprising that they chose a hexagonal structure of the octagonal, or pentagonal. Mathematicians give the reason: "the hexagonal structure is the most suitable geometric form for maximum use of unit area." If cell-cell honeycomb is built in the form of another, then the region will not be used, so that less will be stored honey, bees and fewer will be able to benefit from it.

Throughout their depth the same, a triangular or quadrangular cell would hold the same amount of honey as a hexagonal cell. However, among all these geometric forms, which has a hexagonal periphery short. While they have the same volume, the number of candles that are required for hexagonal cells is less than the required number of candles for a triangle or quadrilateral.

Conclusion: hexagonal cells require minimal amount of wax in terms of construction while they save the maximum amount of honey. Bee itself surely can not have calculated this result, obtained by the person after many complex geometrical calculations. Animals use this form of small hexagonal innately, just because they are taught and "inspired" so by their Lord.

Hexagonal cells with the design of a practical in many cases. Cell match with each other and their share of the wall. This, again, ensures maximum storage with minimal wax. Although the cell wall is thin, they are strong enough to make several times their own weight.

And in the walls of the cells, bees also take the maximum saving principle into consideration when they build the bottom end.

Combs was built as a slice with two rows lying back to back. In this case, the crossing point of two cells occurs. Development of the bottom surface of the cells by combining three equilateral quadrangles solves this problem. When the three cell built on a single face of the comb, the bottom surface of a cell in the face will be built automatically.

As the bottom surface of the plaques consist of wax quadrangular same side, a downward deepening is observed at the bottom of the cell made by this method. This means that the increase in cell volume and, thus, in the amount of honey stored.

OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF HONEY: Comb Cells

Another point to consider during the development of honey bees is the tendency of the cells. 13o increase with cells in both sides, they do not prevent the cells parallel to the ground. Thus, honey does not come out from the mouth of the cell.

While working, worker bees hang on each other in the environment and gather together in bunches. By doing this, they provide the necessary temperature for wax production. Little sacks in their abdomens produce a transparent liquid, which leaks and hardens the thin wax layer. Bees collecting wax with a little hook on the leg. They enter this candle in their mouth, and chew and process until softens enough and so provide in the form of cells. Many bees work together to ensure that the temperature required to work in a place to save the wax soft and gentle.

There are more interesting to note: the construction of the honeycomb starts from the top of the hive and continues simultaneously in two or three down the line to separate. While honey slice expand in two opposite actions, first the bottom of the two lines join. This process is realized in an astonishing harmony and order. Therefore, it is not possible to understand that honey is actually comprised of three separate parts. Honey in the iris, which started simultaneously from different ections, it is perfectly arranged that, although there are hundreds of different angles in the structure, it seems like one uniform piece.

For a construction, bees need to calculate the distance between the start and the connection points in advance and then design the appropriate dimensions of the cells. How do complex calculations such as this is done by thousands of bees? This always impressed scientists.

It is clearly irrational to assume that bees have solved this task, people who can manage difficult. Not such a complex and detailed organization involved that it is impossible for them to carry out on their own.

So how do they achieve this? An evolutionist would explain that this event has been achieved by "instinct". However, what is "instinct" that can address thousands of bees at the same time and make them perform a collective task? He will not be sufficient even if each bee acted alone "instinct", because what they do will always be in harmony with one another's instincts to achieve this result surprising. Because of this, they must be a ected by "instinct" coming from a unique source. Bees, the bees start to build a nest from different angles and then combine their separate tasks without leaving any gaps, and all cells have the same built in the perfect hexagonal structure, must certainly be receiving "instinctive" messages from the same source ...

The term "instinct" used above is "only the name" as mentioned in the Qur'an, in verse 40. From Surah Yusuf. This is not insisting on using "name only" to hide the truth clearly. Bees are guided from a unique source and thus they successfully come to perform tasks that they will not be able to. It is not flushed, there is no term with a definition that guides bees but the "inspiration" mentioned in Surat an-Nahl. What animals do is implement a small program that God has particularly set for them.

HOW THEY ensure ECTION

Bees usually have to fly long distances and scan large areas to find food. They collect flower pollens and constituents of honey in the 800m distance from the hive. A bee who find flowers, flies back to the hive to inform them about the place, but this explains how the bees to the location of interest in the bee hive?

By dancing ... The bees return to the hive started to dance. This dance is a means of expression, which is used to tell other bees the location of interest. This dance, repeated several times by bees, cover all the information about the inclination, ection, distance and other details from the other food source that allows bees to reach it.

This dance is actually a figure "8" continually repeated by bee (see picture above). Bees that formed the center of the figure "8" by wagging its tail and zigzags. With the angle between the zigzags and the line between the sun and the hive is right to give ection of the food source (see picture above).

However, only ection know the source of food is not enough. Worker bees must also "know" how far they have to travel to gather material for honey, so, the return of interest from the bees, "notify" other bee pollens distance movement of interest with a particular body. This is by wagging the bottom of the body and create a flow of air. For example, to "explain" the distance of 250m, it wags the bottom of the body 5 times in half a minute. In this way, the exact location of the source is made clear in detail, both with respect to its distance and orientation.

New bee problem is waiting in places flight round trip to the food source that takes a long time. Such as bees, which can only explain the source of food in accordance with the sun ection, will return to the hive, the sun moves 1 degree every 4 minutes. Eventually, the bees will make a 1 degree error for each to spend four days on the road in this ection of the food source that tells the other bees.

Astonishingly, the bee does not have a problem! The bee's eye is formed of hundreds of small hexagonal lenses. Each lens focuses on a very narrow area, such as telescopes not. A bee to see the direction the sun at certain times of the day can always find the location when the flies. Bees that are calculated to make this calculation by making use of changes in light emitted by the sun depending on the time of the day.

As a result, the bees determine the location of the target ection without error correction by performing in providing the information in the hive as the sun moves forward.

METHOD OF Marking Flowers

When the flowers have been visited, the honeybee can understand that another bee has earlier consumed the nectar flowers, and leave the flower immediately. In this way, it saves both time and energy. Well, what about the bee understand, without interest check, nectar that has been done before consumption?

This is possible because the bees visit flowers that were previously marked with the reduction in special leave with the scent. Whenever a new bee seen in the one flower, it smells and the impression is that the interest rate that does not use and so went to the other in the interest ectly. Thus, the bees do not waste time on the same flower.

THE HONEY MIRACLE

Do you know how important a food source is the honey, God is offering people with a small insect?

Honey consists of sugars like glucose and fructose and minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorine, sulfur, iron and phosphate. Contain vitamins B1, B2, C, B6, B5 and B3 all of which changed according to the quality of nectar and pollen. In addition to the above, copper, iodine, and zinc in the small amount. Some type of hormone that is also present in it.

From the stomach to drink from different colors, containing healing for mankind ... Surat an-Nahl: 69)

We've made them (livestock) tame for them and ride them and eat them. And they have other uses in them and drink milk. So they will not show thanks?(Surah Yasin: 72-73)

As Allah says in the Qur'an, honey is "for human drugs." This scientific fact has been confirmed by scientists who gathered during the World Apiculture Conference held 20-26 September 1993 in China. During the conference, treatment with honey derivatives discussed.

American scientists in particular said that honey, royal jelly, pollen and propolis (bee resin) cure many diseases. A Romanian doctor stated that he tried honey on cataract patients, and 2002 of 2094 patients who recovered fully. Polish doctor also announced that the conference bee resin helps treat many diseases such as hemorrhoids, skin problems, gynecological diseases and many other disorders.

Nowadays, apiculture and bee products have opened a new branch for research in developed countries in science. Honey other benefits can be explained as follows:

Easily digested: Because sugar molecules in honey can convert into other sugars (eg fructose to sugar), honey is easily digested by the most sensitive stomachs, despite the high acid content. It helps kidneys and intestines to function properly.

Have a low calorie level: quality of honey is that, when compared with the amount of sugar, to give 40% less calories to the body. Although it gives great energy to the body, it does not add weight.

Diffuses quickly through the blood: If the cooling water, honey diffuses into the blood in 7 minutes. Its free sugar molecules make the brain work better because the brain is a consumer of sugar.

Supports blood formation: Honey provides an important part of the energy needed by the body for blood formation. In addition, it helps cleaning the blood. He had some positive effects in regulating and facilitating blood circulation. This also functions as a protection against capillary problems and arteriosclerosis.

This does not accommodate bacteria bactericide (bacteria-killing) property of honey called "the inhibition effect". Experiments conducted on honey show that bactericide properties increase twofold when diluted with water. It is interesting to note that the newly born bees in the colony who nourished with diluted honey by bees is responsible for supervision - as if they know this feature from the honey.

Royal Jelly: Royal jelly is a substance produced by worker bees in the hive. Inside this nutritious substance are sugar, protein, vitamins and a lot of Fats. It is used in problems caused by lack of tissue or body weakness.

It is obvious that honey, which is produced in higher amount compared with the requirements of the bee, made for the benefit of mankind. And also clear that bees can not perform tasks such extreme "on their own."

Honey bee, life with drink from paradise not for themselves but also for human.
