They may be the majority, but we would live without them.

Pollintaion just wouldn't be as effcient.

Ive heard of this. magazines and stuff. Bloodfriut, you dont get it do you? if bees die, the majority of plants die>the majority of animals die> which means the majority of us die. first food gets pricey, then people starve. all around chaos pretty much.

butterflies, moths, some flies, and many others i can't think of now will just take over. no one species is doing one role in the global ecosystem at the moment. and nukem, just to clarify on your idea:
bees die> other bugs have to swarm in to take the bee's place. No more competition over the flowers, so other insects can get nectar>alternate insect boom>maybe a minor decline in plants for a bit>no effect on animals> no effect on us.

how are the other other bugs supposed magically populate a million times fast to fill in the bees places? even if they did replace them, the bees job is still dominate in pollen transporting. They are f-ing everywhere on the planet that is not arctic. if they die.....we still will go kaput.

Even if all the bees did die out, I don't think it would effect us on a large scale. Honey isn't too great anyhow. I say let 'em die. Pesky bastards.

i agree, bee's are really big in the food chain.

Bees mean plants which means food for animals which we eat.

We would have to make some drastic changes to our diet if the bee's died.

And no flowers means no land, because land is made up of rotted vegetation and other stuff. Although, if we were to somehow make the earth out of concrete, which is impossible, we could avert this disaster... but its impossible, so there is no point in it and i'm rambling now so im going to stop here. Right now. Yes, thats it, right now. and no-ones gonna stop me.

I know that many people mistake bees for wasps, and other people panic when they see bumblebees because of its mass. Also, mankind has been making more and more pollution with cars, factories, chemicals, etc and are driving those bees away.

global warming is coming up. animals can feel that, so they go to a bit cooler zone, say... north america. this is just an example why they could be gone.
but im serious about global warming.

Global warming is a grievous prospect.

Animals dying, us dying, water levels rising, ice creams melting...

My parents were murdered by a savage swarm of bees.
Since that day I have sworn that no man, woman or child will share my woeful experience, to acheive this, I have hunted bees, and finally,after decades of work,they have become fearful and fled.

tl;dr:
I'M KILLING THE BEES
