Why Bees? Whats the point?

Why would a god create a animal that could only protect it's self by killing it's self? Seems kind of illogical.Why Bees? Whats the point?
Greetings!





Well Professor, I protect my Bees, I like the Honey, they like my Flowers.





/!\Why Bees? Whats the point?
it's only illogical if you don't know about kin selection and that all worker bees are sterile anyway. In addition bees can protect themselves without any self-inflicted harm against other insects, it's just mammals they have problems with.





It's only illogical if you know nothing about bees apart from how they look like.
That is hardly the only way bees can protect themselves! Do some research on bees, and you will find some amazingly interesting defense mechanisms they possess.





One example? Japanese honeybees, when attacked by a vicious hornet (true bee-killers!) can use their wing muscles in unison to literally BAKE the hornet to death. The bees collective vibration brings the heat of the hive up to 47 degrees - the highest temperature a hornet can withstand without dying is 46 degrees.





';I was just wondering what logical would some one use to justify there creation by god.';


Bees play a vital role in the pollination of many types of flora. To simplify - they help certain plants do what they cannot on their own: reproduce.
it is one for the many... one bee will scare of a preditor and die... but that will save thousands more. They work as a colony, all for the same goal. One bee is not as important as the whole hive. Maybe evolution did not 'fix' this problem because the death of a few bees does not diminish the force and longevity of the complete hive AT ALL.


Some stinging insects can sting and live, but the bee evolution just didn't go that way - stinging and living was not necessary for the bee community to continue to continue to exist to this day.


There is no god related justification for bees.... or anything else (possibly ;) for that matter...
I don't know but they are of utter importance in pollination for the crops we depend on for survival. You know, that the bees have disappeared and stopped returning to hives (nobody really knows why), so farmers actually rent bee hives to help pollinate their crops?
It's designed to protect the greater commune..the hive. It will sacrifice itself to deter a real threat.....


However, I do read into this question. You are asking why a religious person would kill themselves to protect their faith?...or is that too deep?
That brings the same question as well; Why Muslims?


Same reasoning.





Aha, had to say it.





Anyways, the common Christian response is ';It's in God's plan';


My response is ';He didn't, and couldn't have'; ;)
without bees some plants don't get pollinated.
