A 140-Million-Year-Old Bee was discovered in Jordanian Amber

Scientist Abbas Haddadin discovered a 140-million-year-old bee in Jordanian amber. The previous oldest recorded bee was 100 million years old which was discovered in a Myanmar amber by the American scientist George Poiner from the University of Oregon. The Jordanian bee is the oldest record of bees, and bees evolved from predatory wasps that once lived in the past.اضافة اعلان

Haddadin says that the environment in which the bee was found contained flowers, as Haddadin discovered ten types of flowers. He also discovered 17 plant species in the Jordanian amber. 

Haddadin says that the first mutual benefit between bees and plant flowers was found in pollination, as bees created many new plant species.
