What Will Happen If Bees Go Extinct?
WALT
We are learning to write an information report.
Success Criteria:
We will plan and then write an information report on a topic of our choice related to bees.
Our report will:
- Be interesting!
- Give information about a topic of our choice related to bees.
- Show a clear link to our planning.
- Start with an opening statement about our topic.
- Have at least 3 paragraphs. Each paragraph will have an opening statement and
- a series of facts related to that statement
- Include some complex or compound sentence structures.
- Include at least one diagram, photograph, illustration or map to go with the text.
- Finish with a general statement about the topic.
- Use information from at least 3 different sources. This information will be
- written in our own words and we will write down our sources at the end of our report.
What Will Happen If Bees Go Extinct?
Have you wondered what would happen if there were no more bees in the world?
If there were no more bees, supermarkets would have 50% less vegetables in
supermarkets because bees pollinate 90% of the fruit and vegetables in the world.
The fruit and vegetables in supermarkets would be more expensive. We could lose
fruits and vegetables such as carrots, apples, lemons, onions etc. Flower meadows
could die out because they aren’t being pollinated by bees. The Varroa Mite are killing
the larvae by drinking their blood and they are drinking the bees blood. It would be
hard to get rid of them because they live on the bees.

More Expensive And More Work
Farmers would have more work because they would have to pollinate their
orchards/farms by hand and pollinating by hand could take days unless you
had some help. When pollinating by hand you sometimes have to buy special
gadgets to make sure it is done right. These gadgets could be very expensive
especially because there would be no more bees to pollinate their orchards/farms.
In China the farmers there are having to pollinate by hand and they have to spend a
lot of money on gadgets.This could mean that supermarkets would make the prices
of food higher than usual.

The Animal Food Chain
The animal food chain would change because animals that eat mice and
weasels could die out because they wouldn’t be able to eat mice or weasels.
The bears won’t be able to eat the honey out of the beehives. Badgers and skunks
wouldn’t be able to eat the grubs from inside the beehives. Animals such as foxes,
weasels and field mice won’t be able to eat the grubs and honey as well. They would
have to find other food that isn’t grubs or honey.

We Could Lose Animals
Some animals like rabbits, deer, pigs, cows and horses could die out because
they are all vegetarian animals and they would only have grass to eat instead of
carrots, tomatoes, lettuce etc. This would mean that we would not be able to eat
ham, pork, beef and venison. This could mean that horse riders and deer hunters
would not be horse riding or deer hunting because there would be no horses to
ride and no deer to hunt. This is what could happen if bees go extinct and this is also
how important they are to our world.
