I was talking to a friend on Discord who I know at least believes in one of the Abrahamic faiths, and they told me that their holy book uses the feminine conjugation for bees, which is also true for the Christian Bible (the one true holy book). I say this with kindness and love for the truth my friends.
EZEKIEL 37:12 I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and restore you to the land of Israel . You shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them, 0 my people.
All people will know that the Lord of Abraham is the Lord Jesus Christ! That’s the truth
They told me that they at least agree that everyone will go to Heaven eventually. For me, my Universalism comes from a Christian perspective. Because the only way to go to Heaven is by faith alone in Jesus Christ. Therefore, naturally, all people will eventually choose to become believers in Christ Jesus and go to Heaven.
ISAIAH 14:24, 27 The Lord Almighty has sworn, "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand"... For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?
The Lord Almighty is Christ Jesus!
Because reaching paradise, to be with the Lord, is not about doing good works, its’ about being cleaned from our bad works, our sins. Christ Jesus came to Earth, and He died for our sins, He paid their penalty and resurrected 3 days later.
ZEPHANIAH 3:8-9, 15, 17, 19-20 I have decided to assemble the nations, to gather the kingdoms and to pour out my wrath on them-all my fierce anger. The whole world will be consumed by the fire of my jealous anger. Then will I purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him shoulder to shoulder .... The Lord has taken away your punishment... he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love ... I will ... gather those who have been scattered ... At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home.
Hmm... interesting you should mention that bees are described using feminine conjugations in your holy book. In my holy book, bees are also always describes using feminine conjugations.

Worker bee - Wikipedia
Scientifically, Worker bees (with queen) A worker bee is any female (eusocial) bee that lacks the full reproductive capacity of the colony's queen bee
Are All Worker Bees Female? And What About Drones? | One Honey Bee
All worker bees are female.
So I agree with you there. And don’t worry, I think I get your explanation. Ancient writers at this time, thousands of years ago before modern science, would have no way of confirming that all worker bees are female. For me, it shows that these texts are divinely inspired.
Yes, for me it shows that at least the God of Abraham is the one true God. The female bees would be just one of many proofs to that. If you don’t mind me asking, what is the Holy Book that you read, my friend? It’s interesting that many Abrahamic religions like Judaism, Christianity, Islam have similar source material at times. So much so that many more relatively recently-developed faiths like the Baháʼí and Samaritanism like to claim Abrahamic classification too. It shows that believing in the God of Abraham is a strong foundation.
[Post Commentary[
Who will be saved? All people. Look at how much care the Lord God puts towards using the right gender conjugation for worker bees, female! Therefore, how much more care will the Lord God have towards us? He cares for us more than sparrows after all. And He created the whole world, all of creation, to live forever and to be with Him in righteousness.
```Isaiah 54:7-8 "For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you," says the Lord your Redeemer.```
Therefore, He will succeed in achieving His desire to save all people. Just like how He used the correct gender when addressing the worker bees, so too will all of us be saved, regardless of our gender my friends.
