Is this design? or is it chance? Why should it be the number three instead of any other number? No one can tell. We can only observe the wondrous working of supernatural laws, and admire the perfection of design.

In the case of the BEE, it is the number three which pervades its phenomena—
o In three days the egg of the queen is hatched.
o It is fed for nine days (3x3).
o It reaches maturity in 15 days (5x3).
o The worker grub reaches maturity in 21 days (7x3).
o And is at work three days after leaving its cell.
o The drone matures in 24 days (8x3).
o The bee is composed of three sections,— head and two stomachs.
o The two eyes are made up of about 3,000 small eyes, each
having six sides (2x3).
o Underneath the body are six (2x3) wax scales with which the comb is made.
o It has six (2x3) legs. Each leg is composed of three sections.
o The foot is formed of three triangular sections.
o The antennae consist of nine (3x3) sections.
o The sting has nine (3x3) barbs on each side.
