Question

It is said that if honey bees wouldn't exist then humans would have died within 4 years. Why is it said so?

Answer 1

Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred to the female reproductive organs of a plant, thereby enabling fertilization to take place.

Not every plant requires insect pollination, for example, wheat is not insect pollinated. However, the majority of crops that we like and provide our nutrition are insect pollinated. Without pollinators, our diets would be limited. Without bees we would not have fruit or vegetable bearing plants, this way we won’t get enough nutrients and minerals.
