The reading and the listening are about a structure found at Arizona in the southwestern United States, and some believe that this structure was a bee nest. However, the writer of the reading provides some theories to put it in a question is it really a bee nest or other organism and provides some assumption to prove it false. On the other hand, the lecturer counters all of the assumption made in the reading and she gives some theory to certify it as a bee nest.
First of all, the reading claims that as no other bee-fossils had been found more than 100 million years, so this must be other organism's fossil. The professor, however, refutes this point by providing some information. He says that to fossilize bees nests some kind of chemically produced by trees needed and this did not happen that time. Therefore, nests older than 100 years were missing from the world.
Secondly, "since there were no flowering trees grow at that time, so bees would be there", the writer assumes this assumption. On the other hand, the professor believes that bees might depend on trees but not on the flowering trees as they do nowadays. There might be a different kind of trees like fern and bees were depended on them up to the time when flowering trees come in the world. Since then, bees rely on them.
Finally, the reading avers that as there are some differences between that structure and today's bees nest, these structures were created by other organisms. The lecturer refutes this point, and he claims that there are many similarities between those structures and today. He says that the chemical which is used to the nest to protect from water was present on that fossil as well. As a result, it's obvious that those fossilized structures were made by bees.
