found this online, I'm too lazy to explain it myself
Bees perform a task that is vital to the survival of agriculture: pollination. In fact, one third of our global food supply is pollinated by bees. Simply put, bees keep plants and crops alive. Without bees, humans wouldn't have very much to eat.
They are critical pollinators: they pollinate 70 of the around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Honey bees are responsible for $30 billion a year in crops. That's only the start. We may lose all the plants that bees pollinate, all of the animals that eat those plants and so on up the food chain.
Bees play a vital role in the world’s ecosystem. According to a report by the United Nations,1 of the 100 crop species that provide 90 percent of the world’s food supply, over 70 are pollinated by bees. According to the BBC, half of all the food in the grocery store would be gone if bees disappeared. This includes such everyday staples as almonds, apples, avocados, cashews, blueberries, grapes, peaches, peppers, strawberries, tangerines, walnuts, watermelons, and probably worst of all, coffee.
An additional problem that humans will face in a world without bees stems from the fact that we aren’t the only ones who eat plants that are pollinized by them. Another major consumer is dairy cows. They need about 100 pounds of food every day and they have a rather complex diet. Most of what they eat, like alfalfa hay, needs to be pollinated by bees. Without the alfalfa, there wouldn’t be enough food for dairy cows. That means things like butter, dairy milk, and cheese will just disappear. Sheep and goats also eat is pollinated food, so don’t expect either of those to replace cows.
In fact, we may start to notice this becoming a problem in the near future. Almond hulls, a waste byproduct of almonds, are often added to dairy cow feed to make the food less expensive, which, in turn, makes dairy cheaper. However, almonds are heavily dependent on bees and with the bee numbers dwindling, almond production will likely decrease as well.
One other way this will be a problem is that dairy cows are also used for beef. About 17 percent of all beef comes from dairy cows. Without dairy cows, beef prices would also go through the roof.
