Surah 16:68
"And your Lord inspired the bee: ‘Make hives among the mountains, and among the trees, and among what they construct."
16.68 – And your Lord inspired the bee: “ Make hives among the mountains . . . ”
This striking thought – that the Lord inspires the bee – is part of another creation and provision passage (vv. 65–73) with a number of lovely expressions. This theme continues in verses 78–81.
