If there were no more bees in the world... Have you ever tried to imagine that? There would be fewer plants and flowers? Would there be no more honey? No, no, actually, it is not like that. Most of the vegetables and fruits that are usually on our tables could disappear...!

Whole Foods Market, a supermarket in the U.S., has released a photo depicting what would happen to the store shelves if bees and other important "pollinators" were to disappear. According to the Huffington Post, the photo shows what would happen to store shelves if the "pollinators" disappeared.

According to the media outlet, the photos were taken by removing from store shelves all products that would be affected by the disappearance of bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects.

If you look at the photos of the vegetable department, you will see that food items such as apples, onions, and avocados, which should certainly be there, have disappeared without a trace! I doubt that even the supermarkets at the end of the day would be this empty.

There is one more photo. This is a shot of the dairy products section, including butter, cheese, and yogurt. More than half of the products have been removed from the shelves that were supposed to be packed with them, and they look indescribably sad, like the face of a man who has lost most of his teeth.

According to Whole Foods Market, the number of honeybees in the U.S. is declining every year due to a combination of factors, including pesticides and dwindling habitat, which can affect more than 100 crops, including familiar foods such as berries, melons, and avocados.

To prevent the decline in bees, the company urges people to plant flowers and plants, provide soil for bees to dig their nests, and buy organic foods.

I don't think the solution is that complicated. Organic farmers provide natural feed for bees. The bees have to eat to survive."

We have to coexist with the bees.

While the practice will not help right now, striving to avoid disrupting the food chain may be the solution in the long run in the future.
