What are some of the foods we would lose if we lost the honeybee?Updated 3 years ago

Every third bite of food you eat comes from the bees. Without them, we’d lose apples, almonds, cucumbers, blueberries, broccoli, cauliflower, and more if the bees disappear. And that’s just one of the many consequences of losing our buzzing yellow friends. 

And carnivores aren’t off the hook, either. Bees pollinate alfalfa and clover, which are the main types of feed for North American cows and other grazing animals. In fact, nearly 90% of wild plant species and 75% of global crops are dependent on pollinators. Bees singlehandedly provide $235-577 billion USD in economic value to our global economy annually. It’s safe to say our planet would take a serious hit if we lost our buzzing friends! It’s time to get involved, get informed, and save the bees!
