Did Noah Keep Bees in the Ark?
To correctly answer this question first one would have to determine whether the Great Flood was universal in nature or localized.
I would assert that is was local, and therefore would not feel that Noah would have to keep all manner of insects on the ark. Bees and all other insects would die if they were not fed. While we know how to feed bees---sugar water--pretty sure Noah didn't have refined sugar on the ark.
The purpose of the flood was the destroy: the Nephilim, the Men of renown (hybrids) and the humans who were evil continually.
Peter tells us the "world that then was being overflowed with water". The world consisted of the civilization. We also know that everyone was in the same area--so there was no need to have a universal flood at that time.
The dove found an olive branch---if all the vegetation had been under at least 15 feet of water for an entire year---none of it would have survived.
There is nothing prohibiting that the flood was not universal. The flood had a purpose and performed it.
Peter also says this: "bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly"
and this:
"the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:"
The earth standing out of the water and in the water--to my understanding showing that it was not universal.
