Eli5 I just saw a meme that said bees are necessary for our existence. How does one species affect all human beings?
In: 5
It comes down to the sheer number of plants bees pollinate every year. Sure, other animals/insects and the wind pollinate plants, but bees are critical for fruits and vegetables.
While dandelions are included in those plants that bees pollinate, those plants that humans rely upon for produce are dependent on bees.
Humans could survive, probably, but there would be unforeseen ramifications that affect other species in the ecosystem.
