Question

Beekeepers and scientists are puzzled and troubled by a decline in bee populations around the world. what would you predict as a likely consequence of the widespread lack of bees?

Answer 1

The most likely consequence of the widespread lack of bees is loss or reduction of food. Majority of food depends on pollination and bees are major pollinators in the ecosystem, playing an essential role in food production among different type of plants. Bee’s declining population is mostly associated to excessive use of pesticides or toxicants in industrial agriculture as well as presence of different parasites or pathogens and even climate change.
