Which Came First - Flowers or Bees?

The video explores the interdependence of bees and flowers, tracing their evolutionary history. It begins with a riddle about which came first, bees or flowers, and describes a world without flowers 140 million years ago. The sudden emergence of flowers, termed an 'abominable mystery' by Darwin, led to a diversification of plant life. Flowers developed strategies to attract insects for pollination, leading to mutualism. Bees evolved from wasps, becoming key pollinators. Their unique adaptations allowed flowering plants to thrive, especially after the dinosaur extinction, shaping modern ecosystems.
