A Bee-sized Heater!

As we saw a couple weeks ago, it is more reasonable to believe that bees and flowers were designed together rather than evolved. (See post from Tuesday, February 13th.)

How does a honeybee, a cold-blooded insect, survive the winter?  Bees like to keep their hive at 95°F.  But how do they do this?  As the temperature becomes cooler, the honeybees form a cluster.  Those inside the ball of bees are kept warm, and they rotate with the bees on the outside of the ball so that all have a chance to remain warm.  As the temperature continues to cool, the bees will move their flight muscles without flying; you could say the bees are “shivering.”  This generates heat, warming the bee cluster further.

Bees appear to be smart engineers, but they are just programmed to do this.  The really smart engineer is the One who programmed this within them, and that is God.
