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 in the state of Arizona in the southwestern United States. However, many skeptics doubt that the structures were created by bees. The skeptics support their view with several arguments.
The reading and the lecture are both about the discovery of 20 million old fossils that resemble bees hives. The author of the reading believes that those structures could have not been made by bees .The lecturer casts doubts on the claims made in the article. She thinks that there is much evidence that suggests it might have been constructed by bees .
First of all , the author points out that there is are no fossil remains of bees that date back 200 million years ago . It is mentioned that the earliest preserved body of a bee is only 100 million years old as a result, the structures discovered in Arizona cant have been built by bees .This point is challenged by the lecturer. She says that the lack of preserved bees that date back to 200 million years ago doesn’t prove they didn’t exists .Furthermore she argues that in order for a bee bodies to be preserved it requires the right type of tree risen which was rare at the time.
Secondly , the author contends that a reason to question the existence of bees at that time is the lack of flowering plants. The article notes that bees feed almost exclusively on flowering plants however the first evidence of which appears only 125 million years ago . The lecturer rebuts this argument. She suggests that before flowering plants bees could have fed on other things such as ferns , pine trees and later flowering plants.
Finally, the author states the found chambers are missing some details that modern bee hives have .It is established that modern bee nests are close by caps that have a spiral pattern on the contrast with the discovered fossilized chambers .On the other hand the lecturer posits that they have the same chemical with modern hives that is used to waterproof the nest
