  23. i think what your trying to say is “no pollinators no life on earth” Bee’s
    are not the only pollinators. There are many more: •Flies •Hummingbirds
    •Butterflies •Bees- Hornets Yellow jackets Honey bees Bumble bees Beatles

  24. At least 8 thousand species of trees and plants will go extinct and you can

    from the flowers bees pollinate. It would have serious consequences no
    matter how rich or poor you are or where ever you live.
