The author of the reading passage doubts the theory that bees exist on Earth 200 million years ago and the fossil structures support it, while the lecturer in the lecture expresses an opposite view.
To begin with, the author claims that fossil evidence of actual bees dated to 200 million years ago have never been found. However, the lecturer refutes that it cannot exclude the possibility of bees' existence in that time because fossil remains are hard to preserve. Tree resin, a kind of sticky liquid, is necessary to the formation of fossils, while trees with this type of resin were very rare before; they come into being much later. Therefore, it is entirely possible that bees do exist in that period, but since there is almost no trees producing the resin, the bees cannot be preserved.
Moreover, the author believers that bees and flowers today have mutually dependent relationship, but flowering plans does not exist 200 million years ago. On the contrary, the lecturer rebuts that bees might exist on Earth before flowering plants appeared. Those early bees could feed on non-flowering plants such as pine trees, and they gradually evolved into flower-eating insects as they are today. Later, when flowering plants came into being, bees adapt to new feeding on them and hence developed a stable and close relationship with them.
Finally, the author puts forward that the chambers of fossils discovered in Arizona lacks some characters of bees' nests, such as spiral caps. Instead, the lecturer retorts that there is chemical evidence that supports the theory that bees built those chambers. To protect their home against water, modern bees use a special material which has distinct chemical composition when building their nests. When being analyzed chemically, the fossil structures proved to contain the same waterproof material that is used by today’s bees.
