To: null and void

This whole concept that creatures evolved in sequence doesn’t really fit reality. Creatures do evolve according to environment.

The really puzzling part, to me, is bees and flowers. They had to be created or evolve at exactly the same time.

You mean like: Co-evolution? Is that even possible? /s

Not necessarily. Bees likely evolved from carrion eating insects that were attracted to the smell of putrefying flesh. When plants evolved simple flowers some of them produced a foul smell that attracted the insects. Some of these carrion eaters, while looking for the dead thing that they were sure they could smell, found that they could eat the plant's nectar (probably as an occasional food source at first). The plants found that they were aided in their survival as well and specialized more towards attracting the insects. The flowering plants and bees have evolved side by side since.
