Bees from the time of the pharaohs found mummified on the southwest coast of Portugal

These mummified bees were found in a newly discovered paleontological site in Odemira, Portugal, and are believed to have died in their cocoons and decomposed in a unique way that left their skeletons intact, unlike typical decomposition processes.
