First, no fossil remains of actual bees have ever been found that date to 200 million
years ago. The earliest preserved body of a bee is 100 million years old—only half as
old as the fossilized structures discovered in
Arizona.
Absence of Flowering Plants
A second reason to doubt that bees existed 200 million years ago is the absence of
flowering plants in that period. Today's bees feed almost exclusively on the flowers of
flowering plants; in fact, bees and flowering plants have evoKted a close, mutually
dependent biological relationship. Flowering plants, however, first appeared on Earth 125
million years ago. Given the bees' close association with flowering plants, it is unlikely
bees could have existed before that time.
Structures Lack Some Details
Third, while the fossilized structures found in Arizona are somewhat similar to nest
chambers made by modern bees, they lack some of the finer details of bees' nests. For
example, 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, such as wood -boring beetles
The article states that bees were not exist 200 million years ago and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that bees used to live in the earth 200 million years ago and refutes each of aurthur's reason.
First, the reading claims that no fossils have been found that date 200 million years ago, the professor refutes this point by saying that bees fossil require special kinds of rezine which must be produced by specific kind of tree to be preserved. the absence of bees fossils just demonstrate inappropirate kind of tree rezine.
Second, the article posits that bees have mutual relationship with flowers, in fact bees life is relies on folwers. Furthermore, the absence of flower plants conforms that, there couldn't exist any bees in that period. the professor says that bees were independent on flowers and uses different materials like, pine trees to feed themselves.
Third, the reading announced that fossilized structures found in Arizona lacks finer details of bees nests. The professor opposes that point by explaining existence of some kind of waterproofing material in the fossil nests, which is similar to waterproofing material in bees nests.
