According to Sputnik, a digest of Soviet literature, Russian scientists who have observed the honeybees at work are convinced that the bees are brilliant mathematicians. If a man wants to do all what an ordinary bee does, he will not be able to do this without the aid of complex measuring instruments and computers.

The "house" in which the bee lives is an example of her mathematical wisdom. Since these honeycombs are made of the wax produced by the bees themselves, they use it in the most economic way that is possible. Thus the bees build the honeycombs in such a way that using minimum amount of wax they get "houses" which have maximum space to live in.

The idea mentioned above is often used by engineers and they call it "Maximum Economy in Space and in Building Materials". But these engineers and scientists have to spend thousands of hours with drawing-boards and complex mathematics to calculate how to make the best use of the available material to get maximum space to live in. This means that the tiny bee is a great economist and a great engineer too.

The honeycomb is always made hexagonal (that ...
... is, a figure having six sides). Many types of hexagons are possible, but the honeybee uses a special type : hexagons in which the obtuse angle is always 109o29' (one hundred nine degrees and twenty nine minutes) and the acute angle is always 70o23' (seventy degrees and twenty three minutes). This is the shape which gives the "Engineering Economy" to the honeycomb.

I have mentioned two types of angles in the hexagon constructed by the honeybees. The angles were measured in 'degrees' and also in 'minutes'. A minute is the sixtieth part of one degree. The smallest angle that man can measure using instruments in a "Compass box" (Geometrical Drawing Box) is 30 minutes. But to produce the honeycomb mentioned above, the honeybee has to measure an angle which is thirty times smaller than this value -- and she does that without the aid of any engineering instruments. What a Mathematical and Engineering achievement !

Man needs computers, higher mathematics, drawing-boards, compass and many other tools to duplicate the achievement of a tiny bee. However, every bee is born with all the Engineering and Mathematical information that it needs ! All the "tools" and computers are already built into its tiny body and brain.

Evolutionists claim that all this is the result of 'Blind Accidents' in which no Designer, Planner, or Creator was involved. But can a computer evolve through accidents ? Can economy or beauty result without anyone working behind them ? Surely not ! It is not logical to claim that ordered complexity can result by itself to become a meaningful product.

A honeybee is much more complex than a computer. If a computer cannot evolve by itself, then isn't it much more reasonable to believe that the honeybee was planned and created by an all-knowing and all-powerful God !!!
