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 lecturer disputes the author's suggested theory that fossils of bees did not exit 200 millions years ago. He provides several reasons to cast doubt about the author's claims

First, according to the text no fossils were discovered 200 Millions years ago because The earliest discovered are dated 100 millions years ago in Arizona. The speaker find this idea debatable. He asserts that indeed, they may have existed 200 years ago. However, because there were no tree raisins available to preserve the nest, they might have been destroyed with time.

The lecturer contradicts the fallacy of the passage that since flowering plants have not existed at that period of time, it is unlikely that bees nest existed either because bees feed on flowering plants. The lecturer contends that, theoretically speaking, bees may have existed at that time because there are fossil of pine and fern discovered. The lecturer contends that such kind of trees have evolved later in time to flowering plants.

Finally, the author argues that the structure of nest discovered lack some important details like caps. Again the lecturer refutes these claims by stating that an analyses of fossils showed that the material which the nest used to protect against water was lacking this can significantly change the structure of the nest in a way that it appears not real.
