Bees and plants have evolved together over the last 50 million years and they are quite interdependent. Bees get their food from the plants in the form of nectar and pollen, and in return the plants are pollinated by the bees.

It has been estimated that some 80 per cent of all plants are insect pollinated, and that around 90 per cent of those plants are pollinated by bees. If the bees were to disappear this pollination would not take place, and without it the plants would not develop fruit and seeds for the next generation. Around one-third of all the food you eat is the result of the pollination of crops by bees. No bees, no food -- there would be widespread starvation.

Add to that the number of flowers and other decorative plants that would die out and the world would be a far less beautiful place.
