You see, bees and wasps are nature's own pollination brigade. They go around pollinating flowers so that things like fruits, seeds, nuts, veggies, and berries can grow from them. Without those staples in our lives, we'd be unable to eat, or feed livestock and pets. whole forests and jungles would die off, and countless species of animals would perish. Humanity would either need to adapt, which I feel it's unable to do fast enough, or perish.

Einstein himself said that if bees and wasps were to go extinct, all of humanity would perish 4 years later. I believe him.

Not really, considering how us human beings would be scrabbling around, fighting for every last scrap of whatever is left to eat. We'd slowly starve to death, and then the bodies and garbage would pile up because no one would be there to give the poor souls proper burials and remove the trash to dispose of properly in a dump. As the bodies and garbage decompose and fester, various flesh and garbage eating bugs and animals, like flies and rats, would swarm everywhere. The rats and flies would spread disease from the dead and the trash to the living, and the disease would run rampant throughout the meager population that remained and we'd all die one way or another.

Hardly what I call bliss.

Why? I mean..that's where they came from right? I'm curious.

I actually like bees. Especially the fuzzy ones! Lol.

I don't actually have the power to make them extinct so no need to fear for your lives just yet

Bees are great. I love them. They are little cuties. I rescue them if I see them on the pavement when I'm out I'd hate it if someone stepped on them

Spiders, cockroaches and flying ants...pretty much most insects or crawlies, but those are my worst.

I have a friend that owns a tarantula and Madagascan hissing cockroaches, I haven't seen them for quite a while though, last time I went and saw their pets properly there were cockroaches on the lose! I wasn't so happy.
