Did bees a type of insect exist on Earth as early as 200 million years ago Such a theory is supported by the discovery of very old fossil structures that resemble bee nests The structures have been found inside 200 million year old fossilized trees i

The reading states that there are several reasons that bees do not exist on Earth as early as 200 million years ago. The lecturer, on the other hand, finds all the reasons mentioned by the reading dubious and refutes them all by specific details.
First, the reading states that no fossil remains of actual bees have ever been found that date to 200 million years ago. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up the idea that maybe the reason for that is that bees could not be preserved as fossils at that time. Fossil bees have typically been preserved in fossilized tree resin, and trees with this type of resin were very rare 200 million years ago.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that flowering plants do not exist in that period. On the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that before flowering plants appeared on Earth. Those very early bees might have been feeding on non-flowering plants.
Finally, the author argues that chambers of modern bee nests are closed by caps that have a spiral pattern, but the fossilized chambers lack such caps. That suggests the fossilized structures were made by other insects. the speaker dismisses this issue because there is chemical evidence that supports the theory that bees built the chambers. When the fossilized chambers were chemically analyzed, it turned out that they contain the same kind of material.
