Question

Why would we all die in four years, if bees disappeared?

Answer 1

actually, yes it would be a great loss, but many other animals pollinate flowers also, how do you think plants were pollinated in prehistoric times? there were no bees.

Answer 2

why in 4 years?:|

Answer 3

loss of plant life which is the base of all food chains

Answer 4

Lot's of little insects can spread the pollen on their little legs.  Wasps even help with pollination....humming birds....butterflies....The pollination of the world doesn't depend entirely on the bees.

Answer 5

bees help polinate plants throughout the world.  you stop plants from polinating you dont grow plants.  you dont grow plants herbivores that depens on them die.  herbivores die carnivores begin to die , etc etc on up the food chain, ending with humans.

the 4 years part is an estimate though, there is no real true life evidence that can support that kind of statement

Answer 6

bees=polinate plants and help them grow

no plants=no food for animals to live on

no animals = no food for us to eat

Answer 7

well annie is wrong, even if other insects pollinate bees are the major contributor, that is why they are found on every continent in the world but antartica.  

bees pollinate the fruit, vegtables, and all flowering plants, plants which turn deadly co2 into breathable o2 for us to breathe put that together and you can see what would happen.  this works up the food chain, plants die herbavores die, carnivores die, humans die.  

bees pollinate more then 30% of all food eaten in the united states, and its probably alot in many other countries as well.  

we are experiencing a little food chartage of wheat, a 30% decline is major food prices go up, the bees do us a service, the food they pollinate is worth 3 billion dollars, the whole ecosystem of the bee from plants and fish and herbavores and carnivors and hunters is al worth 50 billion dollars.

now the money doesnt matter but 1 third of all food missing is bad not enough to go around

Answer 8

i never knew that.

thats weird .

Answer 9

It's because most of the food we eat comes from pollination and if thebees disappear there will not be any pollination so no food for us

Answer 10

Bees make plants grow, they pollinate plants, if we had no plants no animals would live. The food chain would die and we would starve to death.

Answer 11

havent you ever seen the Bee Movie? geez

Answer 12

Yea, without bees, there will be no way to spread the pollen and fertalize the plants.

Answer 13

who said that . i dont think we willl all die   the plant reson is userd . look at africa and antartica they dot have plant and are still alive

Answer 14

we would?? lol but bees aint important .. how wud we die ._. maybe becuz the honey or sumthing is important to our bodies./. i think

Answer 15

bees pollinate plants, and plants are the basis of all food chains, so therefore with no food people would die.

however, bees are not the only pollinaters - other insects, birds and some mammals also pollinate so i guess it'd take longer than four years for us all to die

Answer 16

polination would stop and all plants would dye watch the bee movie its kinda in the movie.
