The Bee (Arabic: الْنَّحْل; an-naḥl) is the 16th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 128 verses (āyāt). It is named after honey bees mentioned in verse 68, and contains a comparison of the industry and adaptability of honey bees with the industry of man.
Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an "Meccan surah" during the last period, which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina.
