What happens if bees die out?

Answer 1

Bees help pollinate around 70% of all the crops on the planet. If all the bees die and nothing rises to replace them (another type of insect, for example, or serious human intervention), many plants will simply die-off due to lack of pollination. If 70% of the plants on the planet die.

Without bees, there would be no honey, but distinctively, certain plants would not be able to reproduce and would thus become extinct. In turn, this would lead to the disappearance of certain animal species.

''If the bee became extinct, man would only survive a few years beyond it'', Einstein predicted...

Answer:

The death of all bees as a spectre raised by commercial bee keepers in reference to diseases like colony collapse disorder, a problem related to commercial raising of bees. In many peoples' minds (Einstein among them apparently, he was after al a mathematician not a biologist) bees are the only pollinator of plants in the world, specifically honeybees. There are many other insects which do this same role in nature - these include other types of bees, flys and insects.. It should be kept in mind that honeybees are not native to North America but were imported by early settlers (the same as earthworms). Prior to the introduction of honeybees North America had a diverse plant ecology. There is no reason to suspect that other pollinators would replace the bees if bees disappeared.

Answer 2

Oh absolutely yes!

Without bees (specifically Honey Bees), there won't be as many plants in the world. And, there will be no more honey or beeswax. Also, they provide food for the birds. However, you can kill wasps. They just build nests and terrorize people. They have no help to the plants in the environment.

Answer 3

Well Bees are the thing that keeps us alive. They get nectar off flowers and keep them healthy. Without plants and flowers there would be no crops! Nothing to feed us. So without bees we wouldn't be alive!

Answer 4

If humans become extinct, eventually every other living thing with the exception of plants, would become extinct. If humans are gone, there would be no one to help the other endangered species. In that case, animals would continue becoming extinct, leaving nothing left besides plants. Plants can only survive because of the rain. Plus, they make their own food.

Answer 5

The issue has been raised of the "pollination" process that bees undertake by flying from plant to plant. During this process they will collect pollen on the hairs that are sited on their bodies and when entering the next plant of the same genus it passes the pollen to the plant to start the reproductive process. Whilst bees are not the only carrier of the pollen in this process they are the major on. If bees die out then the pollination process created by nature will be impacted upon. With reduced pollination come reduced crops and of course reduced foodstuff for humans and animals alike

Answer 6

it wont be no more honey

----------

Many plants would die out, since they wouldn't have the bees to pollinate them. These plants dying would mean other types of animals that rely on them would die out, meaning other plants or animals die out, etc. If bees disappeared, there would be a food chain collapse with untold consequences.

Answer 7

we will lose some of are fruits and vegetable and some of are flowers will disappear.

Answer 8

Crops wouldn't get pollinated so there would be major food shortages.

Answer 9

human race and any living thing will possably be extinct bees make honey, help the cycle of plants witch give us oxygen so probaly we will possably die out
