Is it true that Bees are disappearing?

Question

What would be the consequences if they were to become extinct?

Answer 1

There have been lots of trouble with honey bees but i hope it gets straightened out. My brother lost all of his bees. Even if i get stung i want the bees to stay to pollinate the fruits and vegetables and to keep nature balanced out. We need the bees for honey and pollination as well. People use to many harmful pesticides and weed killer.

Answer 2

The current phenomenon is "colony collapse disorder". Commercial beekeepers have reported losses of up to 50% of their hives. Obivously, natural honey prices will increase, as well as some crop prices where bees are critical to pollenization. Who knows what the effects would be in the natural world.

Bees are quite good at adaptating and evolving, so it's unlikely that all bees will become extinct.

Answer 3

confident! bees pollinate flora. some flora are thoroughly based on bees. meaning that large vegetation are frequently pollinated via bees. many of the produce would be long gone from shops and fields. some million/3 of each thing we consume. it may threaten pork if the alfalfa flora weren't pollinated. Many different animals could be misplaced, too. Bee venom additionally would have medicinal properties.

Answer 4

i heard about this..all these beehive ppl are saying that their bees are literally just disappearing!! they arent finding dead ones..they're just gone.

farming would be greatly affected.
bees are the insects that pollinate the most..
the plants wouldnt get pollinated, which is essential for farmers to grow some crops.

Answer 5

I dont think they're disappering cus disappering means vanishing into thin air. Now if you're asking if their population is dying out then yes I believe so
