      I think the food we eat would change drastically.
      A lot of food (fruit and nuts mostly) depend on insect pollination or are boosted by insect pollination in their production. So without bees we’d likely end up in a situation where people would have to hand pollinate certain fruit so we could eat it, so I’d imagine it’d become a lot more expensive!
