Bees don't go out specifically to pollinate flowers, they go to collect nectar and pollen for food. The fact that flowers are pollinated by their actions is a side-effect.

However, foraging flights do take their toll. Wings eventually get worn out and when this happens the bee can't fly and will die.

Sort of. Bees pollinate as a result of collecting food, it isn't the primary reason for their existance. As they collect nector from the flowers, the pollen clings to their bodies and gets spread around. So if they aren't pollinating, they aren't collecting food, so yes they will die.

Didn't you see bee movie? the world's plants die!

There would't be as many plants because insects, birds and other animals would still be able to pollinate.

Most of the flowers would die, because the pollin would not be spred to the other flowers.
