First orchid fossil found on an entombed bee.
One day, fifteen or twenty million years ago, a bee dropped by an orchid and buried its head deep into the flower for a drink of nectar. A little later, the busy bee set out once again, this time to bring home some resin to help with hive construction. It would be the last errand it would ever run.
