There were no bees in the Precambrian Super-Eon. In fact there were no insects of any kind in the Precambrian. It is possible that arthropods (the phylum that now includes Spiders, insects, centipedes etc) evolved in the Ediacaran Period, the last geological period prior to the end of the Precambrian but these were not insects.

The 1st evidence for insects comes from about 396 million years ago during the Devonian Period some 146 million years after the end Precambrian. It was not until 350 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period that there is any evidence of insect flight.

The 1st evidence for bees in the fossil record come from the early Cretaceous Period about 100 million years ago.

Bees, like ants are specialised wasps. Bees evolved from wasps of the family Crabrondae to specialise in eating pollen and nectar from flowers. The 1st flowers appeared in the fossil record about 140 million years ago but became widespread about 100 million years ago.

It is unlikely that bees, as we know them today, were present in the Precambrian era. Bees, which are a type of insect, only evolved around 130 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. In the Precambrian era, which began around 4.6 billion years ago and ended around 541 million years ago, the Earth's early life forms were primarily simple, single-celled organisms.
