Well, not in two weeks. The problem is that the bee's cross pollinate all our plants, vegetables and flowers. As well as provide honey, etc. Without them, we would have a problem with our farmers, that need the help of the bee to continue to produce their bounty. It's this simple, if they can't farm, we won't eat. It would have effects beyond the realm of agriculture but also in the theater of our meat production. Since the feed to feed the cattle, chicken's and pigs originate from the farmers output. Needless to say it would be a vicious circle and eventually would have a unfounded effect on the worlds food chain and economy.

No! Even if bees were the only pollinators in the world, and they all died, it would take longer than that!
But the bees that are dying are only honeybees. There weren't even any honeybees in the Americas until the Europeans introduced them. The Native Americans got along fine without them. There are a lot of other pollinators in the world, including other bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and bats.
Of course a lot of our fruits and nuts now depend on honeybees to produce fruit. So, if the honeybee does go extinct, it will change our diet. But we won't starve.

Lets hope not as North America's bee population has been decimated by 25 % over the last decade ?
I saw a TV program the other day that cell phones could play a big role in this as it messes up the bee's radar and they cant find their way home. I don't know about you but I like honey !

That's not quite right. Einstein said "Once the bees go, we've only got four years left".

That is not true, that is not even funny. Don't make jokes about people dying.
