As an instance of this, early in the morning, a group of researcher bees, in the vanguard of the honeybees get out of the hive to find the best rose-gardens and flowery fields. They then return to report to other bees what they have discovered. Researchers mark out the way to the flowery field or farm that have suggested so that their colleague may easily find the way out:ِ ``....

And follow the ways of your Lord easily.'' [ 477 ] 3ِ THE PLACE IN WHICH HONEY IS MADE The bees drew the nectar by their labium, and pass it into their honey stomach which is a wonderful little factory. In that factory with the help of salivery enzyms, the cane sugar in the nectar is converted:ِ 1)into, ``DEXTROSE'' which is a kind of crystalline sugar (C6H12O6), occuring in many plants and in the animal organism.

Besides that, the small factory produces a second type of crystalline sugar out of the nectar which is called, ``LEVULOSE'' or fruit sugar, occuring with difficulty in the honey, and in the most of the sweet fruits. It is produced by inversion of, ``SUCROSE''. Upon returning to the hive, the bee gushes back the partially processed nectar into a cell of the comb. It is worthy of note that this SUREH was revealed in Mecca where there was no plantation or flowers, nor bee and honey!

***** WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE BEE - HIVE? (During day light hours in the summer, the BEE-HIVE is a scene of intense, yet orderly activities. A constant stream of workers pass in and out of the hive entrance. Those who enter, are laden with pollen (THE MASS OF MICROSPORES IN SEED PLANTS WHICH IS USUALLY IN THE FORM OF FINE YELLOW FLOUR) and nectar. Those leaving, are headed for flowers where they can pick up new loads.

They sometimes travel to long distances from their hive in order to reach a particular kind of flower! Sometimes as far as 8 miles! The field workers are very hardy and active and tirelessly go about their task so much hard that soon their wings become tattered, and within a few months they become old and weak and worn out.

Young workers serve as apprenticeship within the hive on indoor tasks, then they spend a few days near the hive entrance, getting their [ 478 ] bearings, trying out their wings and defending the colony if necessary. Bees have no defensive soldiers as certain kinds of ants do have. In times of danger workers are drafted to fight intruders, and they usually sacrifice their lives by giving their single sting. The interior of the hive has little waste space.
