These Bees Have Been Mummified

A research team stumbled upon an astonishing and unexpected scene in the coastline of southwest Portugal: bees that had been mummified in
subterranean sarcophagi for nearly 3,000 years. These were not typical European honeybees in a hive, but members of a group called Eucera. The bees spend most of their yearlong lives gestating underground, A                         .

Bees have evolutionary staying power, and their ancestors are known B                         . They have withstood wild climate swings and thrived wherever a flowering plant might have rooted. But finding actual fossilized bee bodies – unlike turtle bones preserved in sediment layers – is rare.

The cocoons C                          produced by the mother bee. This thread was a waterproof, organic polymer D                         .

As for what killed the bees, the researchers considered flooding or a prolonged drought E                         . But the pollen stored inside the cells told the team F                         .

While this nest is an example of a localized mass death, it could also be a reminder of how bees have persevered in the face of shifting climate conditions. There are still more than 25 species of Eucera-like bees living in different habitats in Portugal.
