Honey bees are going extinct because of excessive use of pesticides
in crops and certain blood-sucking parasites that only reproduce in bee
colonies. It’s true that the extinction of bees would mean the end of humanity.
If bees didn’t exist, humans wouldn’t either.
Wonder Why?
Out of the 100 crop species that provide us with 90% of our food, 70%
are pollinated by bees (source). It’s that simple.Bees are the primary
initiators of reproduction among plants, as they transfer pollen from
the male stamens to the female pistils.
Effects of bee extinction on human life
Less production of food crops will ultimately lead to worldwide
famine. Hunger and poverty will be very common. Freshwater will
start drying up as well as, as there will be less trees for water retention
to occur. With less water and diminishing food, humans will die of
thirst and starvation.
I hope you can see how the best option for the bees is to do nothing.
Unfortunately, some people are just way too afraid of “bugs.” If only
we’d look up from our screens occasionally to appreciate the amazing
creatures we share this beautiful planet with.
