The Bee Movie recently came on Netflix, and me and my family decided to watch it for the meme. I largely enjoyed, but as the movie went on I noticed something sinister. The Bee Movie is fascist propaganda. My family thought I was insane but it's true. Let's look at the story here. Barry B. Benson, faced with the soul-sucking repetitiveness of proletarian life working for Honex, decides to try to free himself and goes outside of the hive. After doing outside stuff, he figures out that bees are being exploited by humans, because humans are expropriating their honey/surplus value. Barry, having achieved class consciousness, starts a lawsuit/proletarian revolution. Barry, with the help of the bee proletariat, wins. Post-scarcity is reached, and fully automated luxury bee communism is achieved. It should be paradise. However, this is not where the movie ends. Because of some bullshit mismanagement, bees just stop doing anything, including pollination. The world's vegetation begins to die, and Barry has to deal with the guilt of closing his class-traitor girlfriend's flower shop and spelling the end of life on earth as we know it. To solve the issue, the bees work with the humans to solve the crisis, and afterwards, bees continue to make honey and allow humans to use it. In other words, they solve their problems by ending f luxury bee communism and promoting -blam!-ING CLASS COLLABORATION. How dare Jerry Seinfeld imply that fully automated luxury bee communism would doom us? How dare he try to tell us that fascist class collaboration is the answer? Who knew that by watching and sharing increasinglully automatedy accelerating apian cinematic memes we were helping the enemy? I don't beelieve it.

Let’s find out. [ kills bee ] One [ kills bee ] Two [ kills bee ] And three... [ falls to ground motionless ]

Walmart just filed a patent for robotic bees. People already see this as a problem and are working to fix it. Humanity is incredibly resilient and will make it through the absence of some species, no need to worry.
-
Will humanity die if all bees disappear. No. Will humanity be in big trouble if bees die. Yes more than likely. Is there a problem right now with bees. Not really

I hope so

Nah. Some people would starve, some ecosystems might collapse, and the world would suffer, but it wouldn't kill us all. Bees aren't the only animals that can pollinate, and animal intermediates aren't the only ways to pollinate plants. Gene modding and new agricultural techniques would pick up the slack before we all died out.
-
Without bees, pollination doesn’t happen, without pollination, plants fail and wither away, without plants....no trees. Without trees, no oxygen. No oxygen...no us.
-
Pollination by hand is a bitch but is still doable.
-
Neh i highly doubt it, flowering plants and plant pollinators only evolved in the mid-cretaceous period, Earth seemed to be doing just fine without them.

My uncle had honey bee hives when I was a kid. We would have fresh raw honey straight off the honeycomb. Fresh honey layered over hot biscuits with thick sliced bacon and scrambled eggs. I can smell it now.

Not if we mate with them. [spoiler]it's hip to f*ck bees[/spoiler]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/10/10/believe-it-or-not-the-bees-are-doing-just-fine/ [quote]You've probably heard the bad news by now that bees were recently added to the endangered species list for the first time. But if you're part of the 60 percent of people who share stories without actually reading them, you might have missed an important detail: namely, that the newly endangered bees are a handful of relatively obscure species who live only in Hawaii. The bees you're more familiar with — the ones that buzz around your yard dipping into flowers, making honey, pollinating crops and generally keeping the world's food supply from collapsing? Those bees are doing just fine, according to data released by the USDA this year. [/quote]

Probably.

President- hey, uh. can we figure out how to pollinate plants without bees? Scientist- we can, but people need to be paid, it won't be cheap. *months later* President- So can we pollinate the plants our selves? Scientist- yes but.. president- it's expensive i know... *sigh* one would have thought that not starving would have been enough incentive. oh well.
-
Don't worry. We can resort to eating the world's supply of socks and shoes.
-
Bees make honey and it’s good tho
-
That is one of my concerns. Humans can pollinate the plants by themselves but bees can do it in very quickly.

Edited by Zeldasavvy64: 3/26/2018 3:49:12 AMNope. There are plenty of other pollinator species. If anything, the European Honeybees are bad for the environment. They're an invasive species. Edit: -blam!-ing spelling
-
Don’t worry, we’ll still have will.i.am to help pollinate.
-
Almost everything will die without bees. No other species is currently capable of the mass pollination that bees provide. However, some things will remain, like plants that pollinate through wind, and fungi. I don't think bees affect aquatic life either but I could be wrong.
-
Pollination my friend.
