I won't put the full list in because it is huge, but https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of ... ed_by_bees
No pollinators, no food, as MikeG says. Brassicas, root vegetables, potatoes, nuts - all the good, high value, high calorie food. We would have to survive on grain and animals that eat grain. And olive oil, so perhaps not the complete disaster, at least for some of us. No grapes, so no wine -
only beer. No cider, either - I'm going off this way of life rapidly. No coffee, but tea is safe. Phew.
