Can't tell you about the Russian debate, etc. But our preacher once had a message that included info on bees -- it's really remarkable. I remember this much: the "waggle dance". When a bee returns to the hive, it communicates to the other bees about where it has found a field of blosssoms with nectar, by doing a dance. It orients itself to the outside world by doing a different motion for each different compass direction and distance. Otherwise, their sense of direction would be useless inside the dark hive.
When you consider how bees work together, how essential they are to plant fertilization, how they care for the young, it's hard to credit it to anything but the intelligent, wise and loving God. If only we all got along that well. I don't know about the queen business, though.
A few seasons ago some kind of mite nearly killed all the bee hives off here in Indiana. A lot of people never even knew about it. But beekeepers had to import new hives, and all types of plants nearly lost their harvest that year.
