Well I wonder why man would die that quickly? It's just that humans can survive without honey can't they?
It goes deeper then that. It messes up the food chain for one thing, plus bees are one of the highest transporters of flower pollen, from one flower to the other. Flowers will begin to decline because they won't be able to reproduce. One thing leads to another then bang, man is dead?
A good point, but definitely an overreaction. Most staple foods (corn, rice, wheat) are grasses and therefore wind pollinated. Another staple, tubers, are often cultivated from cuttings. No bees would be a very sour inconvenience but hardly the cause for mankind's extinction. Of course I love fresh fruits and vegies so I'm still all for saving the bees - plus I hate cell phones anyway.
