Question

A classmate of yours is allergic to bees and thinks it would be fine if bees went extinct but you believe bees are an important part of our ecosystem. What would you say in response to their statement? Support your response with details about biodiversity, food webs, and what would happen if they were to go extinct. (must be at least 5 sentences)

Answer 1

I would say that bees play a vital role in our ecosystem because they produce honey which many animals on the food web eat. Though they are on the lower end of the food web it would still cause many problems because they pollinate flowers. If they did not do that anymore there would be problems with the flowers,etc. Biodiversity is another problem because without them there won’t be as much diversity in our ecosystem and some organisms might die out.
