    1. God created bees as part of His creation that He pronounced to all be very good.

    2. Bees make honey, and God commends honey as being good and directs humans to eat it:

    Proverbs 24:13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:​

    3. Even though honey is good and commended in Scripture for humans to eat, no honey could ever be offered to God in at least one aspect of worship:

    Leviticus 2:11 No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.​

    4. Although God commends honey as good and the eating of honey, He never accepted its use in these offerings. The fact that humans like honey and that the Bible commends it as good did not mean that it could be used in whatever ways people might have wanted to use it in worship.

    5. Similarly, just because some people like certain kinds of instrumental music, believe that they are good, and even believe that God has made those kinds of music does not necessitate that God accepts their use of those kinds of music in worship in whatever ways that they think that it is good to use it.

    Is instrumental music like honey in this respect?

    No, because nothing in scripture says the same thing about it as is said about honey.[Probably the end of this conversation for me, and all that's needed.]

    Are you asserting then that there are no similarities between honey and music in any respect that are relevant given what has been revealed about honey?
