If honey bees collapse global food security will be threatened

Legend has it that Albert Einstein was once quoted saying "if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, man would have only four years to live". A statement of exaggerated melodrama? Perhaps not. Almost a third of global farm output depends on animal pollination, and there is a rising concern that the currently understated collapse of the world's honey bee populations may become a dangerous threat to global food security.
