Bee Evolution or Creation?

The bee features many interesting body parts and behaviors that give strong evidence for its design by an Intelligent Designer. There are various varieties of bees including the honeybee, bumble bee, and the stingless bee. Bees feed on nectar and pollen. The bee is a flying insect most closely classified with the wasp and the ant, but unlike those, the bee has hair on its body. The honeybee can fly up to six miles and up to 15 miles per hour. The bee is most known for its pollination of flowers and its production of honey. Bees transfer pollen between plants and help fertilize the plant. Flowering plants need to be fertilized with pollen in order to make seeds and produce new plants. This bee-flower interaction creates a symbiotic relationship where each needs the other for survival.
Scientists estimate that one third of the world's food supply is pollinated by bees and that if all bees were to disappear, humans could not survive. Therefore, the bee is part of a multi-symbiotic relationship among many living things. Many living things need other living things in order to survive. This symbiotic relationship could only have begun if all living things were created and appeared at the same time and did not evolve millions of years apart as mainstream scientists claim. Creationists believe that all living things were created during the Creation Week 6,000 years ago and that these living things were created to need each other for survival.
The honeycomb produced by bees is the product of design and is composed of beeswax. The honeycomb is produced by honey bees in their nests to hold their larvae and store honey and pollen. Each shell of the honeycomb is a near perfect hexagon that further points toward an Intelligent Design. The honey bees consume honey to excrete the beeswax, which is exerted from the bee's abdomen. Somehow, the honeybee knows how to use the beeswax to build the walls of the honeycomb into hexagonal cells. The honeybee also heats up the wax, causing it to melt and form flat plates. This behavioral process is incredibly complex for such a small animal and is a testament to Intelligent Design. The hexagonal pattern for the cells is the most efficient use of space. The hexagonal shape does not leave gaps like circular cells would and the hexagonal cells are stronger than square or rectangular shaped cells. Evolutionists argue that the hexagonal shape is a product of physics and not creative design, such as when bubbles connect. However, even so, the process of the bee building the honeycomb is complex nevertheless and points toward Intelligent Design. How did the bee originally learn how to build the honeycomb? The honeybee and its unique creative behavior is simply the product of Intelligent Design and not millions of years of random chance evolution.
