In the Quran there is something strange about number 16 and the bees. Chapter 16 is called "The Bees". The only verse that mentions the bees is made up of 16 words. And those words are made up of 16 different letters.
It turned out that bees have something odd in their chromosomes. Female bees have 16 pairs of chromosomes while males have 16 chromosomes (Males have no father. Males are unfertilized eggs of the mother, just like Jesus).
Worker bees, those who gather pollen and make the honey, are actually all females. Male bees do not make honey.This was only known recently. However 1400 years ago the Quran refers to bees that generate the honey as females (the Arabic grammar is in the female mode):
[Quran 16.68-69] And your Lord (Allah) revealed to the bees: Build your hives in mountains, trees and in what they build. Theneat (for females) from every fruit andfollow (for females) your Lord's enslaved paths, from its bellies (بُطُونِهَا) exits drink of different colors, in it healing for man. These are signs for those who contemplate.
How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known that those honey making bees are females?
Butunihaبُطُونِهَا in Arabic means multiple stomachs of a single female. Today we know that a honey bee has an extra stomach dedicated for honey.
For the word "its bellies": "butuniha" is for a single female. "butunihin" is for multiple females. The Quran used "butuniha" single female.
How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known that a honey bee has an extra stomach for honey?
Bees build their hives from their own wax however scientists just discovered bees that build hives in wood and even in solid rock.
Carpenter bees drill their hives in wood.
Some bees can even drill in solid rock.

"And your Lord (Allah) revealed to the bees: Build your hives in mountains, trees and in what they build..." God ordered the bees to drill in mountains (solid rock), trees (wood) in addition to the known wax hives.
How could an illiterate man who lived 1400 years ago have known that bees can drill in solid rock?
(The Christian Bible erroneously claims that there are four legged insectsLeviticus 11:20. It also claims that there is an animal that has "flames stream from its mouth; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke pours from its nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.Its breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from its mouth".Job 41:19-21)

[Quran 42.14-15] They only disbanded after they received knowledge (of their Bible) fallaciously among them. And if it were not a word from your Lord [Allah] that postponed it to a later date, it would have been all settled among them then. And those who inherited the Book (the Bible) from them are in great suspicion of it. Therefore call them (to the Quran) and straighten your ways as you are ordered and don't follow their passions and say: "I believe in what Allah revealed of the Book (The Quran) and I was ordered to be just among you (both Christians and Jews); Allah is our Lord and your Lord, we have our actions and you have your actions, no argument between us and you, Allah brings us together and to Him we are (all) destined."
[Quran 6.108] Do not curse those who call (to worship) other than Allah, so that they don't curse Allah out of spite and ignorance. This is how We [Allah] appealed to each people its own actions; then they will be brought back to their Lord [Allah] who will inform them of what they have been doing.
