段落2

FEMALE PROFESSOR

It’s perfectly possible that the nests found inside the fossilized trees were made by bees 200 million years ago.

The arguments used by the skeptics are not convincing.

段落3

First, it’s true we have no fossil remains of actual bees that date to 200 million years ago.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But maybe the reason for that is that bees could not be preserved as fossils at that time.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Fossil bees have typically been preserved in fossilized tree resin, a sticky liquid produced by trees.

段落4

However, trees with this type of resin were very rare 200 million years ago.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Such trees became common much later.

隐藏原文=

So the fact that we have no bee remains that are 200 million years old doesn’t mean that bees did not exist at that time.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Maybe bees existed, but since there were almost no trees producing the right kind of resin, the bees could not be preserved.

段落5

Second, while it’s true that bees have a close mutual relationship with flowering plants today, it’s quite possible that bees existed before flowering plants appeared on Earth.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Those very early bees may have been feeding on non-flowering plants that preceded flowering plants during evolutionary history.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The early bees could have fed on non-flowering plants such as ferns, or pine trees. Later, when flowering plants evolved, bees may have adapted to feeding on them, and this new relationship between bees and flowering plants may have remained stable ever since.

段落6

Third, even though the fossilized chambers lack spiral caps, there’s chemical evidence that supports the theory that bees built the chambers.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Modern bees protect their nest chambers against water by using a special waterproofing substance that has a distinctive chemical composition.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

When the fossilized chambers were chemically analyzed, it turned out that they contained the same kind of waterproofing material that’s used by modern bees.
