00:03One in three bites of food you eat only exists because of bees.
00:08Almonds go first, then apples, cherries, blueberries, avocados, coffee.
00:14Clover disappears next, and clover is what cattle eat.
00:19No clover.
00:20No alfalfa.
00:22Dairy collapses.
00:24Meat prices explode overnight.
00:26Then, the wild plants go.
00:28Ninety percent of them need pollinators to survive.
00:31The animals that eat those plants start to vanish.
00:34Then, the predators that eat those animals.
00:36Humans survive on wheat, rice, and corn, stripped of almost everything else.
00:41Scientists say decades, not centuries, not thousands of years.
00:46Decades.
00:47The most important creature on earth is one we step on without thinking.
00:50And we are losing them right now.
00:52What do you think?
