Bees (Integrated)

The listening content completely refutes the reading passage in the fact that it is possible that bees have existed on Earth as early as 200 million years ago. First, the reading thinks that there have not ever found fossil remains of bees until 100 million years ago. However, the listening part asserts that fossil bees are preserved by trees' sticky liquid, which were rare 200 million years ago, but become common much later. So the fact that there has no fossil remains at that time, it does not mean that bees did not exist.

Second, the reading passage mentions that bees feed on flowering plants, but there did not have the first absence of flowering plants 200 million years ago. It is unlikely bees have existed before that time. Likewise, the lecturer points out that the early bees could have fed on non-flowering plants, such as pine trees that occurred flowering plats during evolutionary history. Later, when flowering plants evolve, bee may have adapted to feeding them. Thus, bees are likely have exist at that period of time.

Finally, the author says that there lack some of the finer details of bees' nests, while fossilized structures are found today. Chambers, for example, Chambers of modern bee nests are closed by caps, but the evidence of fossil lack of caps. So, the fossilized structure may made by others insects. Yet, the speaker from the listening argues that there is chemical evidence that supports the bees built chambers. Morden bees use waterproofing materials to protect their nest chambers. The fossilized chambers were found out that they also contained the same kind of waterproofing substance. Hence, bees are likely have appeared 200 million years ago.

The listening content completely refutes the reading passage in the fact thaits stance on whether or not it is possible that bees have existed on Earth from as early as 200 million years ago.

First, the reading thinks that there have not ever foundpassage author says that known fossil remains of bees untildate back to only to 100 million years ago.

However, the listening part asserts that fossilized bees arehave been preserved by trees' sticky liquid, which were. That situation was rare 200 million years ago, but become common much later.

So, the fact that there hasare no fossil remains dating back to that time, it does not mean that bees did not exist.

Second, the reading passage mentions that bees feed on flowering plants, but there did not have the first absence ofwere no flowering plants 200 million years ago.

It is unlikely bees havethat bees existed before that time.

LikewiseOn the other hand, the lecturer points out that the early bees could have fed on non-flowering plants, such as pine trees that occurred flowering plats during evolutionary history.

The last part of that sentence is very confusing so I just cut it.

Later, when flowering plants evolved, bees may have adapted to feeding from them.

Thus, bees are likely to have existed at that period of time.

Finally, the author says that there is a lack some of the finer details of bees' nests, whilehives in fossilized structures are found todaythat have been found thus far.

Chambers, fFor example, Cchambers of modern bee nesthives are closed by caps, but the evidence of fossilfossilized structures lack of caps.

So, the fossilized structures may have been made by others insects.

Yet, the speaker from the listening argues that there is chemical evidence that supports the suggestion that bees built chambers.

Morden bees use waterproofing materials to protect their nesthive chambers.

TIt was found that the fossilized chambers were found out that they also contained the same kind of waterproofing substance.

Hence, bees are likely to have appeared 200 million years ago.

Good job!
You clearly understood the material to make a response to it.
The only suggestion I have is to use different transitions:
