If you think this outcome requires no intelligence, why don't growing, wealthy economies spring up from schools of fish, or swarms of bees?

You don't understand bees. Bees are intelligent. Not only that, bees actually create wealth. They build their hives from wax which is secreted on their thoraxes. They mix wax with pollen to form propolis, a glue which they use to seal the open spaces around the hives. They harvest nectar and turn it into honey by fanning it with their wings.

Funny thing about bees. We could talk all day about bees and there would never be one moment where I had to explain what bees do by saying "God did it."

Not to diss God or anything, it just wouldn't come up.

That's because you're not trying to describe how bees came to be the way they are. Describing how something already is doesn't require much in the way of explaining its creator.
