What Happens If All the Bees Died?

• Bees are directly responsible for the production of 70% of fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts we consume.
• Since 2006, bees have been mysteriously disappearing.
• Insecticides called neonicotinoids have been looked at as one of the possible causes of the bee die off.
• If bees continue to die off, entire food chains and webs may be at risk.
• Without bees, our diets would consist of mostly corn, wheat and rice.
