year. Not only would the extinction of bees affect our economy‚ but bees‚ playing a very important role in our ecosystem‚ would affect many other organisms in the ecosystem upon their own extinction. Bees play a vital part in our ecosystem‚ spreading pollen and enabling life for many plant organisms. Without bees in our ecosystem‚ things would quickly fall apart‚ possibly endangering 80% of the plant foods that we consume. The death of bees would not only affect plant life‚ but animal life as well. Animals
