We get to see honey bees around us many times but have you ever thought that what will happen when honey bees go extinct, you might not but assume that if honey bees go extinct how much will it cost us. Now you might be thinking that it will just causes a little and you would think that you'll not get to eat honey but its not that it seems to be honey Bees play a important role on our life. So in this article we are going to talk about what will happen honey bees go extinct.
One of the most obvious victims affected by the loss of Earth's bee population other than the poor insects themselves is the world's honey loving population, which is, uh, everyone! Human beings have been regularly collecting and consuming the delicious, sappy substance for thousands of years. And the loss of such a useful and needed product would greatly impact the lives of nearly, well, every person on the planet. But honey isn't just tasty. For almost as long as it's been a food, it's been considered a useful medicine. It actually happens to be a natural remedy for sore throats, digestive problems, and is even used to help treat hay fever. I would be included in that. Honey also contains a number of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants, including pinocembrin, which has been shown to improve brain function. Now at this point you might be thinking, "Well, what do I care? "It's just some honey, no big deal. "It just goes in my tea." Yeah, but it gets a lot worse. Pay attention.
The world is a very colorful place, and that's due in large part to the bees that fly from flower to flower pollinating them and allowing them to create other flowers. Now, pollination can still occur thanks to other insects such as beetles and butterflies. However, bees are the most efficient pollinators and are responsible for the vast majority of it. In fact, even with all the other creatures and the wind included, the end of bees would still bring about the end of several flower species. This would mean not only the end of all roses and tulips, but the end of jack-o'-lanterns at Hallowe'en, no canola oil or biofuels, and many cosmetic products that some of you ladies like to where would be gone. So yeah, pollen is a lot more important than you think. But guess what? It gets worse.
As the third largest producer of cotton on the planet, the United States sure has a lot to lose if the bees are wiped out. The United States brings in over $21 billion every year through the cotton industry, but all of that would change if cotton disappeared. It's been used by humans for over 9,000 years, and we don't plan on stopping to use it anytime soon unless we're forced to. And chances are, if you check what you're wearing right now, I almost guarantee at least one thing includes cotton. Think about this just for a minute: no new clothing, no denim, no underwear, no socks! Malls would be abandoned! And let's not forget about that toilet paper and disposable diapers that you buy for your baby. Who's gonna take care of all of that poop?
1)honey will be gone.

2) fewer plants get pollinated.

So yeah, pollen is a lot more important than you think. But guess what? It gets worse.
3) no more cotton.
As the third largest producer of cotton on the planet, the United States sure has a lot to lose if the bees are wiped out. The United States brings in over $21 billion every year through the cotton industry, but all of that would change if cotton disappeared. It's been used by humans for over 9,000 years, and we don't plan on stopping to use it anytime soon unless we're forced to. And chances are, if you check what you're wearing right now, I almost guarantee at least one thing includes cotton.

And let's not forget about that toilet paper and disposable diapers that you buy for your baby. Who's gonna take care of all of that poop?
4) massive fruit and vegetable shortage.
To say that the loss of bees would negatively impact the world's food supplies would be a gross understatement. Their disappearance wouldn't just hurt it. It would absolutely devastate it. A report released by the BBC claimed that over half the food you'd normally see on shelves in your local grocery store wouldn't be there anymore. Fruits like apples, berries, peaches, grapes and melons are all the result of pollination, so they'd be gone. The same is also true for nuts such as almonds and walnuts. Plus, and perhaps the most devastating here, your morning cup of java would be gone. What? That's right, coffee, like many other beans, requires pollination, and there's no way that manual pollination by human farmers could ever keep up with the millions of grumpy people in the morning.
5) would be that prices soar.
Obviously, if the resources that we count on to both sustain us and make our lives easier suddenly became less available or, in some cases, not available at all, then whatever remains in the world's stockpiles will skyrocket in price. Simply put, demand will greatly outweigh supply, allowing sellers to mark up prices pretty much to any number they want. And what little food is being created through pollination by humans will cost far, far more to produce. People simply cost more than bees do. Oh, yeah, it's getting ugly already, and there's still five more to go!
