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. The listening content completely refutes the reading passage in its 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. First, the reading passage author says that known fossil remains of bees date 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. However, the listening asserts that fossilized bees have been preserved by trees' sticky liquid. 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. So, the fact that there are no fossil remains dating back to that time 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. Second, the reading passage mentions that bees feed on flowering plants, but there were no flowering plants 200 million years ago.

It is unlikely bees havethat bees existed before that time. It is unlikely that 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. On the other hand, the lecturer points out that the early bees could have fed on non-flowering plants, such as pine trees.

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. 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. 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. Finally, the author says that there is a lack some of the finer details of beehives in fossilized structures that 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. For example, chambers of modern beehives are closed by caps, but the fossilized structures lack caps.

So, the fossilized structures may have been made by others insects. So, the 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. 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. Morden bees use waterproofing materials to protect their hive chambers.

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

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