The reading asserts that nests that were found in fossil remnants are not related to bees, and they are related to other animals but not bees; nevertheless, the lecturer believes that it is possible nests belonges to bees and refutes each of the points in the reading.
To begin with, the author mentions that there are no fossil record of bees dating to 200 million years ago to support that bees made the discovered nests. This specific argument is challenged by the professor. He says that there is no fossil record of bees because the condition was not favorable to protect bees' bodies from decomposition. Additionally, he states that bees' bodies can survive in a sticky liquid called Razon that is produced by specific kinds of trees. Since the tree was not developed 200 million years ago, it is possible that the bees existed but their bodies did not preserved through time.
Second, the passage argues that bee and flowers have a mutual connection and bees feed on flowering plants. It adds since there were no such plants back then, so bees were not living before flowering plants' spread. However, the professor disagrees with this claim and expresses that it is possible that bees lived on non-flowering plants before the scatter of flowering flora. He explains that there is a great chance that bees lived without flowering plants and after their spread, bees got adopted to them and this relationship stayed stable since then.
According to the text, there are differences between modern bee nests and the one's that scientists found. Thus, the nests were not made by bees. The lecturer opposes this idea, stating that the fossil nests lack chamber, but they have other similarities with modern nests of bees. For example, modern bees use a specific chemical matter which is water proof to build their nests. Chemical analysis from fossils show that these nests were made from the same water proof chemical. Therefore, the lecturer bieleves that there are enough evidence to prove that these nests belonged to bees and not other animals.
