“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: Also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end” (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
God made an incredible creature when he created the Japanese Giant Hornet (Vespa mandarinia japonica). These predators (over 2 inches long) can decimate domesticated European honeybee hives, killing thousands of workers in order to obtain the bee larvae/pupae to feed to its own offspring. However, this is not the case with a native wild honey bee hive. Notice the following:
When a hornet scout locates and approaches a Japanese honey bee hive it will emit specific pheromonal hunting signals. When the honey bees detect these pheromones, a hundred or so will gather near the entrance of the nest and set up a trap, keeping it open apparently to draw the hornet further into the hive or allow it to enter on its own. As the hornet enters the nest, a large mob of about five hundred honey bees surrounds it, completely covering it and preventing it from moving, and begin quickly vibrating their flight muscles. This has the effect of raising the temperature of the honey bee mass to 47 ˚C (117 ˚F). The honey bees can tolerate this temperature, but the hornet cannot survive more than 46 ˚C (115 ˚F), so it dies. Often several bees perish along with the intruder, but the death of the hornet scout prevents it from summoning reinforcements which would wipe out the colony. More recent research indicates, however, that while the raised temperature of the bee ball contributes to the death of the hornet, it alone is not sufficient to kill the hornet. The bee balls also produce a much higher level of carbon dioxide which contributes to the hornet’s death, although whether this is because it reduces the hornet’s tolerance for high temperatures or actually suffocates it, is not known.

Evolutionists would have us believe that this response to the giant hornets by the Japanese honey bee is a product of millions of years of trial and error by this insect. Perhaps an imaginary conversation went this way:
Queen: “Sisters have you come up with a plan to defeat our enemy, the giant hornet?”
Worker spokesperson: “Yes, your majesty. After 1 million years we have designed a plan for our defense. Knowing the physiology of the hornet and our physiology we calculate it will take 500 of us to defeat one of them. We are glad that this plan was created from data recorded at Honey Bee U. and field tested over the last ten thousand years.”
Queen: “Thank you for your work. Be sure and write your plan down since most of you will end your lifecycle in a few weeks. I plan to incorporate it into my genes to pass on to my offspring soon.”
This is how intellectually silly the theory of evolution is! Do evolutionists honestly believe that by chance the honey bee could have come up with a plan of defense that takes into account both insects’ tolerance to heat? Yet, this is the arrogance of this false philosophy. How puny faulty human reasoning is compared to the creative power of God!
When Job encountered the Eternal Mind he repented of his false reasoning.
Then Job answered the LORD and said: “I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.” (Job 42:1-3 NKJV)
