ADNAN OKTAR'S LIVE INTERVIEW ON EKIN TV (2 March 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR:The creature can be seen secreting wax in the photo in the form of very fine layers beneath its stomach. The wax is secreted in transparent plates. When the wax comes into contact with the air, it hardens in the form of tiny scales and the wax is stored in pockets. They also have pockets. 

PRESENTER: Bees?

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, the wax is stored in their pockets. The worker bee extracts the scales of wax from the pockets using a hook on its back legs and carries them to its lower jaw.  Look at the intelligence in the animal, all those stages. First of all, Allah has established such a system underneath it and it secretes it like a chipboard; it goes through all these stages. Thanks to a special secretion in its saliva, it chews the wax and makes it pliable. Look at all the work the animal puts in. They then add this wax to the comb in the form of round cells. The bees then thin the wax walls out, making them all of an equal thickness and giving them the form of hexagonal cells. Look how they do that by moistening it, plastering the cells individually and one by one, and never making a mistake with the angles. It does this really regularly with not a millimeter of error. As you know, they begin constructing the cells from either side, meeting in the middle.

PRESENTER: So they work from the outside in?

ADNAN OKTAR: From the outside, of course. They begin construction from the two edges. Then they bring the two sides together and meet in the middle. In other words, if a human being were in the size of a bee, it could never do what the bee does, even if he were given all the available means, not even in 10 years.  

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, many bees work together in shaping the cells and shape the wax using their heads, feet and bodies. They use all their organs together, just like plasterers.

PRESENTER: Amazing!In one sense, like builders.

ADNAN OKTAR: They work simultaneously, using their heads, feet and bodies. When the worker’s wax-making period comes to an end, the structure of wax sacs on its stomach collapse and become just a flat layer of cells. The animal then stops secreting the substance. 

ADNAN OKTAR: The platelets from the bee’s stomach are around 3 mm long and 0.1 mm thick. Some 80,000 platelets are needed for a single comb. The cell walls are always of the same thickness and always at an angle of 120 degrees to one another. There is never any deviation in the angles. The most perfect angles have been calculated, the most immaculate mathematical calculations. They always make them 120 degrees, never 130 degrees or 140 degrees. It is always 120 degrees. It takes around 4 minutes for a bee to extract a wax platelet, chew it up and stick it to the comb. Some 150 bees have to work together to make 1 kg of wax. And they have to consume 6-8 kg of honey to make 1 kg of wax. Because they use the sugar contained in the honey in their secretor glands. Here is the animal’s sting…

PRESENTER: The weapon they use against us?

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, on the underside.

PRESENTER: So a tiny bee does everything you have described?

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, masha’Allah,

PRESENTER: This indicates a glorious creation and majesty.

ADNAN OKTAR: Masha’Allah, these are those wax platelets. They check everything separately with those sensors. Honeybees’ eyes see extremely well. Then the babies have to be fed several times a day. They give them royal jelly one by one. After fattening them on royal jelly, they then make bread for them. They then begin feeding them with that. In other words, miracle after miracle. It is breathtaking. They first feed them with royal jelly, then with that bread.

PRESENTER: Masha’Allah!

ADNAN OKTAR: How do they know the young will be fattened up and grow? How do they know the bread will fatten them up, the bee bread? That is why they feed them on that. 

PRESENTER: So these tiny animals are just one proof of an immaculate creation?

ADNAN OKTAR: Wherever we look, we see these marvels of Allah. They post sentries on both sides of the hive. They do not allow any foreign bees in. They immediately recognize intruders and jump on them. If an intruder bee refuses to leave they poison and kill it. If they cannot expel the body, if it is very heavy, they cover it in a substance that has antibiotic properties, and the animal is preserved without going off. If the hive overheats, they begin beating their wings together to cool it down. They stop the honey melting.

PRESENTER: Masha’Allah!

ADNAN OKTAR: It is delightful how they are so altruistic, so industrious, so well behaved and so cute. Their venom is another matter. They head straight for whatever it is they have taken a dislike to...

ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KRAL KARADENIZ TV (27 March 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, bees are really sweet creatures. And looked at from close up with all that fur. And they are really well behaved and brought up. Take the combs. They begin in the different corners. They build those famous, tiny hexagons, fill them up and move on. Then work inward from the four corners and meet in the middle.  

PRESENTER: So nobody needs to tell them to stop as it has gone wrong.

ADNAN OKTAR: This is a very great miracle. Look, they start from the four different corners and the hexagons, entirely regular and perfect, meet in the middle. It is perfect. The angles are perfect and they fill the cells up perfectly with honey. They fill them up in such a way that they never overflow. They put a little bit and then smear, and put a little bit more and when they are entirely full they close them up.  

PRESENTER: One could not do as good a job even using a pencil.

ADNAN OKTAR: That is impossible. It would be impossible to get those angles right. The angles of those hexagons. They have no compasses or set squares, no protractors, nothing. How could we do that?  

PRESENTER: Where did they learn that from?

ADNAN OKTAR: Masha’Allah, alhamdulillah. This is a great miracle. Allah says that He has revealed it.  

PRESENTER: The systems in their own bodies, their working systems, it is very interesting.  

ADNAN OKTAR: Builders are like that. They use gravel and this and that, but they still cannot get the angles exactly spot on. They are razor-sharp. They have to use really precise equipment. Otherwise it is impossible to get the angle spot on. Every each cell has the same perfect angles. They are all the same down to the last millimeter, and all have the same depth. The bees work just like architects, but the very best trained architects. The wax emerges in platelets from those sacs on their undersides. It is wonderfully organized. Then there is the venom to the rear. And if anyone tries to harm them, they go in with the sting.  

PRESENTER: Do the honey and the venom never get mixed up?

ADNAN OKTAR: No. They make the honey perfect. They take the sugared water, the nectar, from the flowers and turn it into honey, and they store it away, bit by bit. And they make much more than they need, masha’Allah. They only need a very small part of it.  

ADNAN OKTAR: They way they feed their young is something else. They keep tabs on each and every one. They become fully grown at just the right moment, masha’Allah, and develop very fast. Every state of these sweet animals, everything about them, is a miracle. They show each other in which direction flowers lie by dancing. Their fellow bees gather around them. The bee then performs a special dance taking the Sun as their reference point. This has been comprehensively established by scientists, who have filmed how they do it. Anyone logging on to the relevant section of the www.harunyahya.com web site can see this. There are films taken by scientists, by biologists or zoologists, or entomologists. If you teach that dance to a human being, tell him, he would not be able to do it. But those animals go off and locate the flowers through that dance, by dancing. There are so many marvelous things about bees, not just one or two. For example, if a hornet gets into the hive...

PRESENTER: Or their ways of communicating.

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, when they realize there is going to be a hornet attack, which they can tell from the scent the hornet brings with it, they all gather around it and vibrate their bodies, thus raising their body temperatures. The temperature in the hive goes up enormously and the hornet is unable to withstand it and dies. Just look at the technique.

ADNAN OKTAR: If they cannot throw the dead body out, they cover it in an antiseptic substance. They mummify it so it does not rot and decay there.

 ADNAN OKTAR: I could go on listing these marvels of bees until tomorrow morning. Their brains are no larger than the head of a pin, or even smaller. Their brains are really tiny. Yet they perform marvels. Allah uses them as His instrument, masha’Allah.  

PRESENTER: The program given them is flawless.

ADNAN OKTAR:Yes, masha’Allah. 

PRESENTER: That communication among them is very interesting. If I am not mistaken, this should be the case with butterflies; scientists have eliminated all external factors when they need to reach a target flower, but they still both make their way to it in time.

ADNAN OKTAR: And honey bees are really cute to look at. Their eyes are made up of thousands of cells, each with a separate lens and incredibly regular. They are really top-quality lenses. The images are collected really well, all the images are collected, inverse images are restored the right way round in that lovely brain and then the animal begins seeing really well. Its external appearance is really stunning. And that tiny proboscis and everything.
