What are the repercussions of the disappearance of billions of honey bees?

Question

All over the world, the honey bee population has decreased by as much as 25%. What types of fruit/plants are going to be affected and what other repercussions might come about because of this?

Answer 1

The effect varies. Most people forget that honey bees are not native to North America and most parts of the world - they came from parts of Asia and the Middle East. There are no native plants outside of Asia or the Middle East that depend on honey bees for pollination except for possible circumstances where honey bees have driven native pollinators to extinction. So, native plants are generally not affected by fewer honey bees, while many native insects will benefit from a reduction in honey bees. In general, the only negative repercussions will occur with crops that rely mostly on honey bees for pollination - mostly non-native fruits.

Answer 2

all of them its going to be a lot harder for their plants to be polinated, but the virus isn't thought to be from the flowers pollen so humming birds probably will have alot harder of a job..
