Why are the bees important to humans?

Over 80 per cent of all plants are pollinated by insects, and of those, 87 per cent are pollinated by honey bees. If plants are not pollinated there will be no seed or fruit and the plants will die out.

One out of every three mouthfulls of food you eat are directly as a result of honey bee pollination.

No honey bee -- much less pollination -- major food shortages...
