The reading and the lecture are both about possible nests fossils that are related to did bees which are a kind of insect. The reading believes that there are doubts that these structures built by did bees. However, the lecture casts doubt about the claims are made in the reading. She says that the arguments are not convincing and the nests could be back to did bees.
First of all, the reading states that there are no fossils have been discovered that back to 200 million years. However, the lecturer rebuts this point by saying that the fossils need a stick liquid that exerts from specific trees to be preserved. She clarifies that this kind of trees did not exist at that time. So, that means there could be fossils that period, but there were no particular trees to preserve these fossils.
Secondly, the article mentions that there were no flowers from that era that bees could feed on. The lecture counters this argument by explaining that bees at that time could feed on different plants like pine trees. According to the professor, when bees had evolved they adapted to feed on flowers.
Thirdly, the writer says that the champers' structure of these fossils lack caps, which modern bees make them now in their nests. However, the lecturer refutes this point by mentioning that the modern bees nests have the same chemical material that found in the fossils. According to the professor, the chemical analysis approved that the same waterproof substance is found in both fossils and modern bees nests
