Earth without bees?

[arcticwolf]

Bees are interesting, very important creatures but all over the earth bees die.
Einstein predicted: "If the bee became extinct, man would only survive 4 years beyond it."

What will happen if bees become extinct?

It's been going on for years now dude. They are puzzled but there is huge effort underway to save bees. They pollinate something like 40 to 50% of all crops, maybe even more. The disappearance of bees would be catastrophic to food production.

There is another issue, the aggressive and unproductive African bees are replacing the productive and mild European bees especially in North America. There is an all out fight between bee keepers and African bees.

It is a well known issue. European bee has to be saved of we are screwed.

Lot of plants would be in danger of exinction, but fortunately great part of them don't need the bees to be pollinated.
While honey would be produced by wasps and hornets.

In East Asia some species of wasps and hornet are used to produce honey, for example the asian giant hornet. However i have no idea if it tastes like bee honey.

Word without bees is a world without pollination, without plants, without animals and without human.
Bees are flexible and symbol for sane nature. Bee deaths is indication for nature's disbalance.

Blue honey, thank you no. We have the option, the bees don't!

One important fact book by Jared Diamond is :"Collapse", illustrates, with historical examples, where ecological destruction lead on to.
