Have you ever considered where we would be without bees? I am sure that many people would have thought why do we need nasty stinging creatures, however, as far as the list of important creatures go, bees are there on top of the list as they are critical pollinators. To be frank, a world without bees just wouldn’t sustain, considering the fact that they technically feed over 7 billion people globally. Without bees, our markets would have about half the fruits and vegetables they have at the moment. That would mean no lime, no coconuts, no honey and most importantly not enough grapes for wine.

Imagine a time, when we would be on the verge of extinction where every human is fighting for every last resource left on the planet. The world as we know it would simply collapse! Pollinators play a key role in our survival as a species as they are solely responsible for the pollination of a large number of plant species. Without them, everything would simply collapse resulting in multiple adverse effects. The term “pollinator decline” means the reduction of the population of the very insect, or animal for that matter, which helps in the process of pollination. Plants being at the bottom of every food chain, the reduction of pollinators would mean the decrease of the rate of pollination, thereby decreasing the population of plants and consequently affecting the entire food chain. This has raised concern globally and has become a part of “biodiversity conservation
