3,000-year-old mummified bees are so well preserved, scientists can see the flowers the insects ate

1000’s of years in the past, a bunch of adolescent bees turned trapped in cocoons inside their nest and left behind a remarkably preserved report of their “mummified” stays.

Researchers in Portugal reported the invention of the traditional bugs and fossilized bee nest — the primary to be discovered with bees preserved inside it — in a examine revealed July 27 within the journal Papers in Palaeontology.
