Hey,
the impacts of bee extinction would be massive, because they pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. We would probably also lose the plants these bees pollinate, which would result in effects across the food chain, with the animal feeding on the plan species possibly suffering too. – It would be very scary!

Lydia’s right, without bees we’d lose most of the plants we eat, and most of the animals we eat that live on those plants. Most of us would starve to death, and all those plants dying would mean nothing holding the soil in place, so it would wash away in the rain and we’d have fewer and fewer places left to grow the few things left to eat.
Losing all the bees would be absolutely horrible!
