Why Are Bees Important To Our Ecosystem

Bees are very important to our ecosystem. People don’t really care about bees and just only think that they only make honey and pollinate flowers. Bees do a lot more than just make honey, pollinate flowers or sting living things for defensive purposes. Bees play a big part in our food supply and the environment, if they go extinct then we lose a lot of food and the ecosystem will be out of balance.

Bees do a lot for the ecosystem, the main thing that they do is pollinate. “Pollination is essentially plant reproduction. Without help from animal pollinators, our everyday food supply would look much different– at least one third of our staples we’ve come to rely on would no longer be available”(Tucker). Bees pollinate by going to flowers and plants to get something out of them for themselves which could be nectar, pollen or both. During this, pollen lands on their body, after which it may accidentally land on either the same flower or another flower.“By keeping flowers pollinated, bees perpetuate floral growth and provide attractive habitats for other animals such as insects and birds’’(Tucker). Pollination is also how flowers and
Once we run out of food and oxygen that we get from plant,crops and livestock that we depend on, humans will slowly starve to death or once all plants and flowers begin to die rapidly we will run out of natural oxygen to breathe from. We can’t replace this with artificial food or oxygen, in fact we won’t have enough time produce enough of it and give it try. There are no substitutions for clean oxygen or food.Once these natural resources that we need to survive are gone, we will be gone too.“If all the bees in the world die, humans will not survive”(Haltiwanger). We can not live without
