SCIENCE:

It was recently, just a few decades ago, that a scientist by the name of Karl von Frisch described the movement and the behavior of the bee, we have come to know, that whenever a bee finds a new garden or a flower, it goes and tells its fellow bees, the exact direction of the garden or flower so that they could collect nectar by a process known as ‘the bee dance’. 

ISLAM:

It is mentioned in the Qur'an, Surah Nahl, Ayahs 68-69:

​

[16:68] And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses [i.e., hives], and among the trees and [in] that which they construct.

[16:69] Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." 

وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحْلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِى مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ (٦٨)

(٦٩) (...)  ۚثُمَّ كُلِى مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ فَٱسْلُكِى سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًۭا
