4:4

وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلنِّسَآءَ صَدُقَٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةً فَإِن طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَن شَىْءٍ مِّنْهُ نَفْسًا فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيٓـًٔا مَّرِيٓـًٔا

Why this meaning was chosen

Both occurrences were inspected together. One noun characterizes payment of women's marriage dues and permits only their willing return. The other identifies living creatures addressed to build homes; that agent predicate contradicts a transfer manner, so the exact bee segment is a lexical collision.
