Did bees are a kind of insect existing now in our life but are they existed on the earth for 200 million years? . There is a discovery of a fossil of bees inside a 200 million-year-old fossilized tree that may answer this question. The reading and the lecture both deal with the accuracy of this hypothesis. The reading claims that these fossils can not be for bees. However, the lecturer believes there are flaws in the author's claims.
The first argument we encounter is the earliest preserved bee is 100 million years old. The professor holds that this is true but it does not mean that the bees existed only in that time. He points out that bees need tree resin to be preserved in it but it was rare 200 million years ago and become common later. On the other hand, the author suggests that because the earliest fossil discovered was 100 million years ago, bees can not exist before this time.
Furthermore, the discussion transitions into the absence of flowering plants 200 million years ago which is the main food for the bee. Once more, the speaker dismisses this hypothesis. He asserts that before flowering plants there were nonflowering plants and were the main food for the bee. He adds that later with the appearance of flowering plants, bees adapt to these plants and become their main food. In contrast, the text is convinced that. The writer says that, as a result of the first appearance of flowering plants 125 million years ago, bees can not be live before that time.
Last but not least, the final point of view is the structure of discovered fossil lake some of the small details of bees' nests. A final word of contrast is offered by the instructor. He argues that even if there is a lake of structure, there are some chemicals that can prove the accuracy of the discovery. He mentions the analysis found the same waterproof material as modern bees. Although, the author assumes that the fossilized pattern was done by other insects as wood beetles.
