Where would the world be without bees?!


Question: Bees play an important role in pollinating flowering plants, and are the major type of pollinators in ecosystems that contain flowering plants. Bees may focus on gathering nectar or on gathering pollen, depending on their greater need at the time, especially in social species. Bees gathering nectar may accomplish pollination, but bees that are deliberately gathering pollen are more efficient pollinators. It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of this accomplished by bees.

Bees are extremely important as pollinators in agriculture, especially the domesticated Western honey bee, with contract pollination having overtaken the role of honey production for beekeepers in many countries. Monoculture and pollinator decline (of many bee species) have increasingly caused honey bee keepers to become migratory so that bees can be concentrated in areas of pollination need at the appropriate season. Recently, many such migratory beekeepers have experienced substantial losses, prompting the announcement of investigation into the phenomenon, dubbed "Colony Collapse Disorder," amidst great concern over the nature and extent of the losses.

No, there wouldn′t be a world without them! Some scientists have proved it!
Really, since I heard that I love those little beeees... How cute they are that they keep us alive...

World will still be here, but we would not know what are honeybees, bees, and their sting.

I don't know how else i would cure my sore throats,without honey and lemon...x x

there would be a lot of sexually frustrated flowers

Mosquitos were the pollinators before bees evolved, so we might have a similar ecosystem. However, Blind Melon could not have made that cool video.
