A scientist has found a 100 million-year-old bee in the Hukawng Valley of northern Myanmar. The bee was found trapped in amber, a translucent semiprecious stone that begins as a sticky tree resin that entombs and preserves insects and other small organisms. The bee is approximately 40 million years older than previously discovered bees. Its discovery could help explain the quick expansion and diversity of flowering plants during that time frame.
