Bees are one of the most hardest working creatures on the planet ,and because of their arduous work ethic, we owe many thanks to this amazing yet unappreciated insect. Our lives and the whole world in general would be a much different place without this insect. Bee's are responsible for pollinating more than 400 different agricultural types of plants. Many people are led to believe bees don’t matter and that there just normal insects. Yet much of human existence is presently dependent on honey bee's. Although, the human race is not likely to become extinct , much of the food production would decrease.
Although, there are some food sources that don’t need bees to pollinate. Yet, If the bees became extinct all the plants
that depend on bees for pollination would die. All of the animals that depend on those plants would die as well, and so on up the food chain. Meaning a world without bees could struggle to maintain the global human population of over 7 billion. All of our supermarket would have half the amount of fruit's and vegetables. Without bees, humans wouldn't have very much to eat. It is estimated that we would only be able to survive 4 years without bees.
One third of our global food supply is pollinated by bees. Bees keep plants and crops alive. Examples of crop plants are foods that are pollinated by bees are apples, mangos, peaches, kiwi, avocadoes, broccoli, etc. There are so many foods that would be gone if it wasn’t for bees. Scientist's have discovered why some bees have been going extinct. CCD also known as colony collapse disorder is the sudden disappearance of the majority of the worker bees in a colony. CCD has wiped out and estimated 10 million beehives that are worth $2 billion, over the past 6 years according to scientist's. These findings break new grounds on why large numbers of bees are dying.In conclusion, bees are very important insects because without them we wouldn’t have many of the plants, foods that we have today.
