To find out how many times more bee species there are than spider species, we need to divide the number of bee species by the number of spider species:

(2 x 10^2) / (4 x 10^1)

Simplifying this expression, we have:

(200) / (40) = 5

Therefore, there are 5 times more bee species than spider species. Therefore, the correct answer is d) 5 times more bee species.
