Hundreds of incredibly preserved mummified bees from the time of the pharaohs have been unearthed.
The bees were inside their cocoons produced almost three thousand years ago.
They were discovered in a new paleontological site on the coast of Odemira, in Portugal.
They date from the end of the Bronze Age at a time when a Pharaoh named Siamun ruled in Lower Egypt while around the same period, Solomon was to succeed David on the throne of Israel.
Because the striped insects died inside their cocoons , they were preserved in the smallest anatomical detail thanks to an extremely rare fossilisation method.
Normally the skeleton of these insects rapidly decomposes.
The degree of preservation was so exceptional , researchers were able to identify anatomical details that determine the type of bee as well as its sex and even the type of pollen used to feed the larva.
The bees belong to the Eucera species one of about 700 species that still exist in mainland Portugal today.
