Do you know that more than 80% of our food comes
from bees? I will be exploring and investigating the
importance of bees, and why they are mentioned in The
Quran and The Sunnah of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).
In grade 6, no one (including me) knew that they were
mentioned in the Quran because Allah (SWT) wants us to
act like bees, and observe their ways of living in a society. I
wanted to find out more about why these creatures are so
important to my faith.
Fun Facts:
Did you know that...
The honey bee is the only insect that
produces food eaten by man.
A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and
as fast as 15 miles per hour, therefore, it
would have to fly around 90,000 miles -three
times around the globe – to make one pound
of honey.
It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee’s
flight around the world.
Honey is 80% sugars and 20% water.
Honey bees must consume about 17-20 pounds
of honey to be able to biochemically produce
each pound of beeswax.
