Bees are excellent pollinators and also produce honey of high medicinal and nutritional value. If bees become extent, many plant species ll also become extent as correlated response.

Bees are important to the environment in terms of Biodiversity, Food Source, and Plant Growth.

Thanks a lot Dr. Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak really thanks.

The greatest contribution of bees and other pollinators is the pollination of nearly three quarters of the plants that produce 90% of the world's food. A third of the world's food production depends on bees, i.e. every third spoonful of food depends on pollination. ”Ending hunger is everyone's responsibility.”

Bees are so important in fertilizing the plants!! 🌹

Dear @Manal Hadi Kanaan Several species of bees are beneficial to us directly or indirectly. One such example is various types of honey bees. Such insects not only outcross a number of completely or partially incompatible crop species, but also gift us sweet "honey". The extinction of bees species will ultimately lead to extinction of human species.

Regards!

Thanks a lot Dr. Mubashir Ali Rather really thanks.

Thanks a lot Dr. Arvind Singh really thanks.Thanks to the very helpful links about the benefits of bees and the possible causes of their extinction, herbicides seem to have the biggest role in that. With my sincere gratitude, Doctor

Thanks a lot Dr. Diana A. Ali really thanks.

Thanks a lot Dr. Arbind K. Choudhary really thanks. I fully agree with you that such insects not only outcross a number of completely or partially incompatible crop species but also gift us sweet "honey" in our culture, we believe that natural honey has the ability to cure different diseases. So, the extinction of bee species will surely affect the human race negatively. My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

How important are bees?

Bees are very important for biodiversity. The greatest contribution of bees is the pollination of nearly three-quarters of the plants that produce 90% of the world’s food. A third of the world’s food production depends on bees, i.e. every third spoonful of food depends on pollination.

What would happen if the bees became extinct?

We may lose all the plants that bees pollinate, all of the animals that eat those plants and so on up the food chain. Which means a world without bees could struggle to sustain the global human population of 7 billion. Our supermarkets would have half the amount of fruit and vegetables.

If bees become extinct, will humans follow them?

There is a high possibility...

What may cause extinction?

There is no specific reason as to why the bees are becoming extinct. However, there are three main reasons for the bees’ extinction and they are parasites, habitat loss, and cell phones. 

Thanks a lot Dr. Md. Shiblur Rahaman really thanks. I fully agree with you on the benefits of bees for humans and the environment, and about the possible reasons that may lead to the extinction of bees. My sincere gratitude doctor.

There are about 20,000 species of bees in the world, and they are probably the most important insect pollinators. The thousands of bee species have unique flight patterns and floral preferences, and many have coevolved with flowers in such a way that their body sizes and behaviors almost perfectly complement the flowers they pollinate. Sadly, bees of all types are in decline worldwide, as are many other insects. The familiar honeybee has suffered greatly from colony collapse disorder, in which hives suddenly lose their adult members. Populations of bumblebees and other solitary bees have steeply declined in many places, largely because of insecticide and herbicide use, habitat loss, and global warming. Some species, such as the rusty patched bumblebee, are even listed as endangered species.

https://www.britannica.com/story/what-would-happen-if-all-the-bees-died

If all of the world's bees died off, there would be major rippling effects throughout ecosystems. A number of plants, such as many of the bee orchids, are pollinated exclusively by specific bees, and they would die off without human intervention. This would alter the composition of their habitats and affect the food webs they are part of and would likely trigger additional extinctions or declines of dependent organisms. Other plants may utilize a variety of pollinators, but many are most successfully pollinated by bees. Without bees, they would set fewer seeds and would have lower reproductive success. This too would alter ecosystems. Beyond plants, many animals, such as the beautiful bee-eater birds, would lose their prey in the event of a die-off, and this would also impact natural systems and food webs. 

https://www.britannica.com/story/what-would-happen-if-all-the-bees-died

In terms of agriculture, the loss of bees would dramatically alter human food systems but would not likely lead to famine. The majority of human calories still come from cereal grains, which are wind-pollinated and are therefore unaffected by bee populations. Many fruits and vegetables, however, are insect-pollinated and could not be grown at such a large scale, or so cheaply, without bees. Blueberries and cherries, for example, rely on honeybees for up to 90 percent of their pollination. Although hand-pollination is a possibility for most fruit and vegetable crops, it is incredibly labor-intensive and expensive. Tiny robotic pollinator drones have been developed in Japan but remain prohibitively expensive for entire orchards or fields of time-sensitive flowers. Without bees, the availability and diversity of fresh produce would decline substantially, and human nutrition would likely suffer. Crops that would not be cost-effective to hand- or robot-pollinate would likely be lost or persist only with the dedication of human hobbyists.

https://www.britannica.com/story/what-would-happen-if-all-the-bees-died

Is there an animal humanity feels more conflicted about than the bee? They’re kind of cute, right? And they can give us delicious things, like honey, and useful things, like beeswax. But they’ve also got those infamous stings. Bees can be a little scary. And in swarms, they can be deadly. So when reports hit the news about colony collapse disorder, some of us might have thought, well, what’s the big deal? Are the apiphobes right? Are bees worth the risk? What would happen if all the bees died? Unfortunately, we’d lose a lot more than baklava and organic candles if bees went extinct. There are more than 20,000 species of bee in the world. Together, they are probably the most important group of insect pollinators. If all these bees suddenly disappeared, there would be a vacuum in our ecosystems that would be very hard to fill. Many bees have co-evolved with flowers so that they are a fundamental part of those flowers’ lifecycles. These plants would be likely to go extinct along with the bees. Other plants that bees pollinate might survive with other pollinators, but they would be at a disadvantage. Blueberries and cherries rely on bees for up to 90% of their pollination — we could be looking at a dire situation in the pie industry. There are also animals that rely on bees for food. If we lose the bees, some of our most beautiful natural species could be next. All these changes would have ripple effects throughout ecosystems and into human society. Humanity probably wouldn’t starve without bees.

https://www.britannica.com/video/205175/bees

Fortunately, many of our staple grains are pollinated by the wind. But nutritious fruits and vegetables could be lost, or become so expensive that few people could afford them. And eating healthy’s hard enough as it is. It’s hard to know just how such a huge change to the natural world would end. By disrupting a key link in the food chain, we could be changing our entire way of life. It’s lucky this is just a hypothetical, right? Well… colony collapse disorder is very real. Huge numbers of bees have died, and scientists believe human activity is to blame. The loss of bees has also been linked to the pesticides we use, and to man-made climate change. And some studies show that it’s not just bees. Insect numbers have dropped dramatically over the last few decades. Nearly half of all insect life may have died out in the last 35 years. Stingers are a pain, but humanity really does need our fuzzy flying friends. Bees and other bugs maybe a little scary, but a world without them would be much scarier.

https://www.britannica.com/video/205175/bees

Hello. I think bees are an integral part of our system. They carry pollen (where the pollen gets stuck to their body hair strands), produce honey, honey wax, which is extremely crucial in medicine. Bu the part of them carrying pollen is the most important one. This allows the pollen to spread and more plants to grow and to invoke cross-breeding and breeding amongst plants. This is in turn helpful for animals and hence for humans to survive as a whole. But I think that now, due to the signals produced by cell phones etc., they are in danger and their population is slowly deteriorating.

Bees are important for pollination

Pollination is where insects move pollen from one plant to another, fertilising the plants so that they can produce fruit, vegetables, seeds and so on. If all the bees went extinct, it would destroy the delicate balance of the Earth's ecosystem and affect global food supplies.

Recent studies reveal that a cell phone tower and mobile phone handset are also causing side effects to honey bees due to radiation emission.

Bees are an important component of any terrestrial biogeocenosis. They are the product of an evolutionary process of hundreds of thousands of years. Their biology depends on the stability of the ecosystem. According to my data, the number of bee colonies on apiaries in Russia has been decreasing in recent decades. Many scientific minds do not see anything terrible in this, but explain it by bad ecology, pollution of the habitat with pesticides, etc. I agree with the dearArvind Singh . The cellular infrastructure has a strong impact on bees. The spatial orientation mechanism of a bee is a complex genetically transmitted multicomponent mechanism. The high and low wavelength radiation of the towers disorients the bees, they cannot find their way into the hive. Perhaps this will encourage geneticists to create a new breed that will be in demand in the new realities of the 21st century. In the 5G era.

Dear Dr Manal Hadi Kanaan, I appreciate you for this futuristic and thought provoking question. My take on this question is

1. Bees are predominantly responsible for the pollination of flowers.

2. If there are no bees - then there will be no flowers - there will be no fruits/vegetables - there will be no food - then there will be no humans/majority of other species - then there will be no (life) in this world.

Thank you Bees - Thank you for your service to flowers and to us (humankind)

Thank you Doctor for this emotive question - which I could resonate.

Warm regards Yoganandan G

Dear Dr Manal Hadi Kanaan, I forgot to add the measures. So this is the continuation of my last post. Many in this forum have already pointed out various aspects/measures. I am just complementing their points.

1. Agricultural pesticides are the direct causes of their extinction. Farmers need to avoid/ government has to ban such substances.

2. Bees can overcome their natural enemies as the nature, if allowed freely, will restore the balance automatically.

3. Bee farming (bee growing) should be encourage among communities.

Warm regards Yoganandan G

Thanks a lot Dr. Yoganandan G. really thanks. I am very grateful for your opinion and very grateful for your contribution to this discussion. Really a great conclusion. My sincere gratitude doctor.

Bees are so important in life that if all the bees on earth die, many plants will disappear soon after that and this may lead to famine on the ground. In addition, bees have a very high economic importance because the value of agricultural crops that are pollinated by bees

Thanks a lot Dr. Antethar Jabar really thanks. I am very grateful for your contribution to this discussion. My sincere gratitude doctor.

It is estimated that a third of the food we consume daily depends on pollination, mainly on bees, along with the other pollinators mentioned.

Many local and imported fruits and vegetables require pollination.

Although I am not a specialist in this field, I was really amazed by the bees when I read about them in some articles and scientific reports ... I was amazed by the smart strategies that they use against their natural enemies such as giant hornets ... A recent study on the use of bees discovered an exciting method as a defense tool against Giant hornets, where researchers have witnessed what is suspected to be the first case in which wild bees use specific tools, after observing Asian honey bees collecting animal waste to ward off attacks by giant hornets. Throughout the region, the Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) is being preyed upon by a species of giant wasp (Vespa soror) - closely related to the killing wasps that invaded the United States during the summer. In a new study on beehives in Vietnam, researchers observed that individual bees collect fresh animal dung and spatter it on the outside of their nest, to discourage wasps from killing them. In the experiment, researchers presented live wasps or their chemical "smell" in an area, and soon after, honeybees scrambled to collect as much dung as possible, from any source, and place it in their nests for several days. It remains unclear (scientifically) exactly how dung protects colonies, but given that wasps chew the nest itself during their attacks, some theories might come to mind. "We argue that A. cerana eats animal feces because it has properties that inhibit this deadly predator from the nest entrances, providing the first report of honey bees using the tool, and the first evidence that they are looking for solids not derived from plants," the researchers write. They claim this is the first time that bees have been observed using tools outside of a laboratory context. Although bees are known to collect plant material to build their nests, there is clear disagreement among the scientific community over whether this constitutes a use of the tool. The widely accepted definition says that a tool is an externally located object that is worked on to give it a specific purpose. The technique of greasing other animal manure in the bee nest, known as "fecal detection," fits that definition, albeit in a somewhat distasteful way. Giant wasps are a fearsome predator and pose a huge threat to honeybees, thanks to their thick shield that a single insect can kill thousands of bees on their own within hours. Litter is the second most advanced defense technique used by bees. Its main method is to muster and trap invaders before vibrating enough to generate heat and slowly cook the invading insect. It has also been observed that bees perform what has been described as "emergency dances" outside the nests to distract the attacking wasps while the bees continue to smear feces around the entrance. Oddly, attacks by other, much smaller, and less lethal wasps did not trigger this litter management response. Scientists suspect that the feces may contain chemicals that mask the location of the nest, giving it a form of camouflage, but it requires a lot of time and resources to spread during each attack.

https://arabic.rt.com/technology/1181898-

Here we find that these smart creatures find defensive means and develop them to protect themselves and to preserve the species, but the question remains: Can bees find and develop strategies that protect them from environmental pollution and from pesticides that are used by humans constantly ??? And if bees are really important to the ecological balance and to human life for this limit, is it possible that human activities are the most dangerous to these creatures and that could cause their extinction in the future ???

Yes, bees are a unique creation of nature. But, still,

I remember in the 70s of the 20th century, a person began to

treat fields with various chemicals from pests.

At my grandfather, 3/4 of the bees died then.

And today, it seems that a person does good, destroys pests,

and the side effect is the gradual destruction of bees.

This applies not only to bees ...

Everything in nature is interconnected.

Dear Dr. Manal Hadi Kanaan ,

Indeed ! a very important question. Bees are the other face of the Nature because they are totally responsible for the development of fruits and other essential crops. So, if there is no bee, there would be no food as simple as that. We must be thankful to this beautiful creature.

It’s my pleasure Dr Manal Hadi Kanaan

If bees disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live. The line is usually attributed to Einstein, and it seems plausible enough. After all, Einstein knew a lot about science and nature, and bees help us produce food.

The bee transfers pollen from the male flower to the lady bits of female flowers. A few days later, a baby watermelon or apple emerges. While bees are not the only pollinators we have (bats, birds, butterflies, and some flies can do this work, too), they're by far the best creatures for the job. In part, this is because they need pollen to feed their larvae, so they're biologically driven to gather the stuff. Other pollinators visit flowers only to suck nectar, and any pollen that sticks to them in the process is a happy accident. Unfortunately, that rapture may become. While incidences of colony collapse disorder—or entire hives being wiped out overnight—have slowed in the past few years, "just because we don't see the as high occurrence of CCD does not mean that honey bees are doing great," says Elina L. Niño, who runs a bee research lab at UC Davis, in California. "There are many other factors that honeybees and beekeepers have to deal with and we are still losing thousands of colonies per year," Niño adds. The current scourges of honeybees include a parasitic mite called the varroa mite and the new presidential administration. "Pollinators could be very negatively affected by depressed regulations to keep our waters and other natural areas free from pollution," Niño says, adding that the work the EPA does to test and regulate pesticides is vital to keeping bees alive and productive. Beckham adds, "My opinion is that the current administration and GOP do not have the best interests of the environment or pollinators in mind, and they are proposing policy that will negatively impact both."

But back to the original question: Are honeybees—and we by extension—doomed? Dykes says it's not just the attribution of that Einstein quote that is problematic, it's the message too. Chances are humans would survive long after bees perished.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/d7ezaq/what-would-happen-if-all-the-bees-died-tomorrow

Bees and humans have been through a lot together. People began keeping bees as early as 20,000 BCE, according to the late and eminent melittologist Eva Crane. (Yes, someone who studies bees is a melittologist.) To put that length of time into perspective, the average global temperature 22,000 years ago was more than 35 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than today, and ice sheets covered large parts of North America. Beekeeping probably predates the dawn of agriculture, which occurred about 12,000 years ago, and likely made farming possible. Approximately 60 percent of the total volume of food grown worldwide does not require animal pollination. Many staple foods, such as wheat, rice, and corn, are among those 28 crops that require no help from bees. They either self-pollinate or get help from the wind. Those foods make up a tremendous proportion of human calorie intake worldwide. So if honeybees did disappear for good, humans would probably not go extinct (at least not solely for that reason). But our diets would still suffer tremendously. The variety of foods available would diminish, and the cost of certain products would surge. The California Almond Board, for example, has been campaigning to save bees for years. Without bees and their ilk, the group says, almonds “simply wouldn’t exist.” We’d still have coffee without bees, but it would become expensive and rare. The coffee flower is only open for pollination for three or four days. If no insect happens in that short window, the plant won’t be pollinated.

Bees are important pollinators. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2018/07/why-are-bees-important-and-how-you-can-help-them/

Bees and other pollinators have a huge part to play in our food supply and the global economy. Pollination affects both the quantity and quality of crops. Unsurprisingly, inadequate pollination of certain crops results in lower yields. The contribution of bees in global crop pollination is estimated at €265 billion. https://www.greenpeace.org/international/story/7578/can-you-imagine-a-world-without-bees/

Not a specialist in insects, but i do believe/was taught that these lovely little creatures do play a key role in pollination which leads to growth and bearing of fruits etc and plant reproduction etc.... also their production of honey which has a variety of uses to humans. Hence i think the effects would be disastrous if bees went extinct.

Hi everyone,

Initially, I agree with Chinaza Godswill Awuchi.

Besides, I think there is statistical evidence indicated that we can say: there is a relationship between human culture and our agricultural environment including bees as heavy-worker insects in this natural cycle and as an indirect effect in fertilizing procedure, i.e. Bees ensure our (Strategic Food Basket).

If all the bees die, this means that 70% of the crops will be lost and this will affect on humans and animals according to a study issues 2006.

Dear Manal Hadi Kanaan, bees, as amply emphasized by you and all colleagues who spoke before me, are of fundamental importance for life on earth. There are many other pollinating insects and vertebrates and it is possible to artificially pollinate many plants in greenhouses or even in the open field (such as some types of pumpkins) but bees, as pollinators, are in the first place and are irreplaceable. For about 20 years I have been breeding bees as a hobby in the small family farm, strictly organic and family-run. I have only 6 hives which since 2004 have been producing about 150 to 250 kg of honey every year. Certainly, the electromagnetic fields due to high voltage power lines significantly disturb the bees but the electromagnetic field of cell phones is in my opinion negligible. Pesticides (insecticides and herbicides) mean certain death for bees. Some "alien" species such as the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina, Lepeletier, 1836), which arrived accidentally in southern France from Southeast Asia with some load of timber or other is today the main nightmare of bee farmers in southern France, of Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and northern Italy as it destroys beehives in a very short time and has no natural enemies. The other indigenous natural enemies of bees in Europe are: the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella, Linnaeus, 1758); the lesser wax moth (Achroia grisella, Fabricius, 1794); the varroa

(Varroa destructor, Anderson & Trueman, 2000) and many other generally rare species of wasps and hornets. Climate change heavily affects the life of bees. 2020 from a climatic point of view in Sicily was terrible, the spring lasted very little, practically we went directly from winter to summer to suffer mainly were the spring blooms lasted a very few days (wildflowers in general and Hedysarum coronarium flowers particularly sought after by bees for the excellent honey they produce). Therefore the production of honey was very scarce and the production of the highly prized Hedysarum coronarium honey was almost absent. My bees have produced about 30 kg of honey, which is about one/eighth of the years of maximum production.

Dear Dr. Muhammad Arshad really thanks. I am very grateful for your contribution to this discussion. My sincere gratitude doctor.

Brees are important for honey .

Dear Manal Hadi Kanaan,

Yes, bees and other pollinating insects are very important to humans and to much of nature. Bees, bitterns, wasps, butterflies and other pollinating insects play a very important role in natural ecosystems and in man-made plant cultivation because they are responsible for pollinating flowers. If all pollinating insects died out, then fruit would not arise from non-pollinated flowers. Then almost all fruits, most grains and vegetables would stop bearing fruit and the scale of production of agricultural crops would drop at least several times or more. This would mean a multiplied problem of hunger. In such a situation, even if all existing plant crops were intended solely for the production of food for humans, the problem of hunger would still be at least several times greater than today. Currently, 3/4 of the global acreage of plant crops produces crops intended for animal feed. Most of these crops are intensive, productive, non-ecological crops, in which pesticides and other chemical pesticides are used, which not only poison the natural environment but also contribute to the mass extinction of bees. In many productive agricultural crops, too much pesticides are poured onto the farmland. Often used pesticides are sprinkled on the fields during the flowering of plants, at different times of the sunny day instead of the recommended amounts, and only in the evening, when pollinators are feeding much less. In addition, an increasing part of agricultural crops is also used to produce biofuels. These crops also use a lot of pesticides and recommendations for the protection of pollinating insects are usually not followed. Unfortunately, the level of social environmental (ecological) responsibility in agriculture is still too low and the scale of the mass extinction of bees is still very high in recent years. Research shows that over the last 30 years, most insects have died in many regions of the world, in the developed agricultural regions. Mainly butterflies and moths die. The reason is pesticide poisoning. Many pollinating insects die. If this very fast rate of extinction of pollinating insects continues in the following years, then by the end of the 21st century there will be almost no insects left on Earth. Then most people will run out of food. The solution to this problem would be a complete conversion of agriculture to ecological farming carried out in accordance with the formula of sustainable organic farming, while at the same time changing the structure of agricultural crops so that the greater part of agricultural crops produced vegetables and fruits, including cereals and other agricultural products directly into the production of food for people and not animal feed. In many parts of the world, under the formula of intensive, productive agriculture, the condition of soils quickly degrades and becomes barren. Forests are constantly being cleared in order to allocate new areas to agricultural crops. At the same time, the formula of the commercial priority is used, i.e. the cheapest possible production technologies, including on the use of huge amounts of pesticides and other plant protection products. Many of these global problems go unnoticed and are not publicized in the media. The scale of promoting the pro-ecological formula for agricultural development in the media is too small. All of the above problems could be solved if all agriculture was conducted according to the formula of sustainable organic farming, i.e. in accordance with the principles of sustainable, pro-ecological development.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم (ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ

(شِفَاءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Yes, bees and other insects pollinating flowers, including bitterns, bumblebees, wasps, butterflies, etc., are a very important element of the functioning of natural ecosystems. Without pollinating insects, fruit, grains, a large part of vegetables etc. in agriculture will cease to be produced. There will be a serious problem of hunger for people and a significant impoverishment of the biodiversity of natural ecosystems. The main reason behind the mass extinction of bees and other pollinating insects is mainly the classic techniques of intensive production agriculture, which uses pesticides and other chemical pesticides that poison the insects. Over the last half-century, the populations of pollinating insects have decreased significantly in many parts of the world. Since the 1970s, about 70 percent have died out. species of wild vertebrates and about 80 percent. invertebrates (mainly insects). Currently, only 20 percent are left. insect species compared to the state from several dozen years ago. In Western Europe, 75 percent have died in the last 30 years. insects. Mainly butterflies and moths die. The reason is pesticide poisoning. Many pollinating insects die. At this rate, there will be almost no insects left on Earth by the end of the 21st century. If this happens, the biodiversity of natural ecosystems will be drastically impoverished, the biosphere of the Earth will become impoverished, and the problem of lack of food for people and hunger will increase many times compared to the present state.
