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 passage offers three arguments protesting that the old fossil structures inside 200-million-year -old fossilized trees was made by bees, all of which are dismissed by the lecture.

First off, the author points out that actual bees dates back to 100 million years ago which is proved by the remaining fossils of bees. In contrast, the professor claims that no fossils does not mean no actual bees 200 million years ago, for the reason that bees can only be preserved by something the trees secrete, which, at that time, is too rare to preserve bees.

Second, the professor argued that bees several years before might not feed on flowers of flowering plants as present, chances were good that what they fed on were flowers of non-flowering plants.

In addition, as for the fact that there had not found something like the caps in the fossilized structures, which is used to close the chambers of modern bee nests, the professor says that there is another evidence to defend herself. Both fossilized structures and modern bee nests share the same chemical matters in a structure functioning like a water proof.
