Answer

Bees help pollinate around 70% of all the crops on the planet. If all the bees die and nothing rises to replace them (another type of insect, for example, or serious human intervention), many plants will simply die-off due to lack of pollination. If 70% of the plants on the planet die, it will be bad for everyone.

 

we will Have a maximum of 4 years to live.all of our trres will die after a year.

 

after 4 years we will starv if we dont find a solution for this problem
