Is there a future without bees

Fewer bees reduces pollination levels, meaning fewer new seeds are created and fewer crops grown. But it isn't just the decline in bee numbers causing a problem. ... There must be a possibility of developing a mechanical solution to the pollination challenge.

Can humans survive without bees?

Bees and other pollinators are vital for global food security. ... Put simply, we cannot live without bees. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that pollinators like bees and butterflies help pollinate approximately 75 percent of the world's flowering plants.

How long could you live without bees?

If bees disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live. The line is usually attributed to Einstein, and it seems plausible enough. After all, Einstein knew a lot about science and nature, and bees help us produce food.

Will we starve without bees?

Bees play a significant role in the food we eat directly through pollination. Although some plants rely on wind for cross-pollination, while others rely on animals, other insects, or birds, most rely on bees for pollination. Without pollination, seeds won't form and thus we won't have the food supply.

What if bees went extinct?

Pollination is where insects move pollen from one plant to another, fertilising the plants so that they can produce fruit, vegetables, seeds and so on. If all the bees went extinct, it would destroy the delicate balance of the Earth's ecosystem and affect global food supplies.
