Well, maybe.

Melittosphex burmensis, which has been trapped in amber for the past hundred million years, is the oldest bee fossil ever discovered. It lived in northern Myanmar (Burma) in Southeast Asia about 35 million to 45 million years earlier than the next oldest specimens known to science.

Wow...

Ah, that's fascinating stuff. Sometimes I wish I had the patience for science.
Thanks for the link. :)
