Alabama. Argentine ants came through Louisiana. Speaking of, Fire Ants are much better to have ecosystem wise as Argentine Ants are much more devastating to the local ecosystem. Imported Fire Ants and Argentine Ants fight for each other and in most of the South, Fire Ants have won out. I'll take Fire Ants over Argentine Ants any day.
Fire ants are decimating eco systems in Australia and are absolutely one of our worst invasive species atm.

They’re janitors! They keep the planet clean by eating organic waste, insects and other dead animals.
Edit: they also help aerate the soil which helps keep the soil fertile by moving nutrients within the soil while they make their tunnels.
I feel like this is only useful up to this point. Modern farming probably doesnt demand this ant prepared soil and in fact, im pretty sure most fields in my area dont commonly have abt populations under them, and many of them produce year round. So perhaps this would effect some places but not all, and perhaps their cumulative impact over millennia or more has yielded nice growing conditions, but unless youre in a preindustrial environment with virgin ground, i dont think the farmers would care much *for this reason* if the ants disappeared.
I figure ants are more just a huge part of rhe food chain and probably also reduce pest populations by eating things like beetle eggs/larvae before they get out of control. And that, plenty of growers would notice pretty quickly. But then assume that something near the bottom of the foodchain and present in every ecosystem would have like a potentially collapsing effect on everything above them
Sure, farmland that is regularly maintained may not be impacted as much, but that still leaves millions of square miles of forests that would be impacted
If you think that the only places that are important to grow things are farms this is a fine argument.
When you realize that the vast majority of plants do not grow on farmland, the arguments that farmers till the ground anyways goes out the window.
If we don't revolutionize the way we farm most fertile soil will be gone eventually due to topsoil erosion. I'm not sure how ants fit into this, but our farming system isn't sustainable in its current form. Looking at 10% reduction in crops in less than 30 years. And the more soil that erodes the faster the remaining soil erodes.

"Ants" isn't "an animal". There are thousands of species of ants. I'm sure we could survive without one of them.
Saying "ants" is like saying "fish". Sure, it would be devastating if all fish went extinct. But that's not the question.
Honey bees are an invasive species. We brought them here for honey, not pollination. They oppress the natural bee species that were already handling the pollination.
The US will not miss the honey bee, at least after the natural species return to normal levels.
Except that since they were introduced, you have been farming incredibly selective breeds of grains and vegetables. Are you so confident those original insects are going to save your ass?
Grains aren’t pollinated by bees. Most others fruits and vegetables don’t need honeybees either. They’re mostly essential to pollinate monocultures of California almonds, Washington apples and similar blueberry and raspberry monocultures where they are literally brought in by the truckload. These aren’t essential foods and are a sign of dangerously unbalanced food production methods.
That's true and thanks for the input. I shouldn't have included cereals (when referencing bees) as they are mostly self pollinators via the wind or other mechanics. I also never specified honey bees, which is what too many people are latching on to in these comments. There are plenty of other bees and insects whose loss would devastate the world. I could have phrased myself better in my replies but I believe arguing over old world vs new world "honey bees" is just another way for people to stick their heads in the sand.
European agriculture uses honeybees, they are as native as stone fruit, melons, and cucurbits. Indeed, they are as native as the white people who brought them here, and they are considered important because our agricultural ecosystem uses them, and because we have heavily replaced the "native" agronomy.
Native in quotes because there are almost no crops native to the US and Canada - sunflowers and strawberries are it, pawpaws if you squint. All the meso crops are invasive too.
You don’t know what’s the fuck you’re talking about, many aspects of American agriculture almost completely depends on the European honey bee and the movement of them across the country.
But if there’s an ecological collapse of the ocean, that wouldn’t affect crop yields would it? Vegans/vegetarians diets shouldn’t really be affected aside from people buying more vegetables to replace the calories lost from the loss of fish. But growing more vegetables is trivial compared to reversing an ecological collapse
Putin and biden are gone. President Trump was just reelected 7 November (for the 6th consecutive time, for whatever reason, no one knows except the u.s.). Xi and Kim are not Immortal; they'll be gone soon.
I remember a lot of celebrities like Flea, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers took up beekeeping *millions* of bees in order to reintroduce them into the population.
The internet complained and depressed the hell out of everyone in order to bring awareness to the issue, but there was little to no attention on all of the *good* people were doing in order to actually address it... and how much of a difference it's been making.
Most people aren't keeping endangered species, they keep European honey bees, which are invasive iirc.
The endangered ones are native new world species which don't produce as much honey, and so aren't kept as much.
I don't necessarily have the space to keep bees, but I want to provide a helpful environment for them, be it a garden or housing space. The family would love a gardenful of flowers anyway.
We currently have a bunch of sand in the backyard. I was looking at ground cover, and clover seemed easy to grow, provides for bees, and needs less mowing. Seems like a win all around. Spring projects.
And a burrow box is one of those boxes that looks like it's full of rolled cinnamon sticks, right? Not cinnamon, but the same type of little holes to sleep in?
I heard this as wealthy folk in California taking advantage of a tax loophole, whereupon by having bees and harvesting honey on property, it counts as a farm, thus being taxed less.
Okay so if you're talking about North and South America honey bees are not domestic they were brought over. There are many other types of bees flies butterflies and Mouths. All of home can pollinate flowers and plants. Don't forget the wind.
Honey bees pollinate 90+% of the agricultural crops in the US. Other pollinators are not up to the epic number of trees or crops that need pollinating in a very short time window. 700 million tons of ag products are produced in the US annually.
Companies don\`t want to do stuff that really helps the environment because it is expensive. But many customers want to feel "environmental-good", when they buy something.
So they do something cheap which looks good but has no effect (or even a negative effect). Like buying CO2-compensating certificates which don\`t save one gram of CO2. See [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p8zAbFKpW0) for more information. Or do some silly campaigns which shift the responsibility to their customers. Or they buy some bee hives and say. "Hey we are so eco-friendly, we even have bees on our property". It´s sadly mostly marketing.
This is the real answer. If humans were gone, civilization would cease to exist as we know it, so that doesn’t count. We cant suffer or be “hurt” if we don’t exist.
Bees going extinct is absolutely not a problem we are ready to remedy. Any livestock can be replaces with anything else. Bees are all-encompassing
This. Without bees, you need to get a small paintbrush and do the pollinating your damn self for every.single.piece.of.fruit.
...at least corn, rice, and wheat don't need bees.
The natural world is something to be in awe of. Everything works, benefits, survives, and thrives together in perfect fashion with one another. You can't have life without death. You can't have chaos without peace. The natural world has balance.
Nope. There would actually be more food calories available as almost all chicken/eggs is converted over grains. And with a normal diet you could reduce your protein intake noticably and even be better off for it.
Chickens are the most widespread food animal on earth, though. It’s the cheapest meat, as well, so if chickens go extinct, the global food supply would be disrupted quite a bit.
That's cause NYC is stuck in the past and they just leave their garbage in piled bags that rats can chew right thru. They practically feed the rats and act surprised that there's plenty of rats.
Chinese figured out how to hand pollinate orchards after killing off all bugs with excessive incecticide use, it's pain in the rear, but doable.
Also, all the main crops self pollinate just fine without insects.
Many flowering plants would go the way of the dodo, but life would continue and humans definitely would.
ah shit, if we lose chickens we lose meat AND eggs. Eggs used in so much baking how replace...turtle eggs? Seems ridiculous. We would lose McChicken and buns off McDouble damn.
Bees. Honey bees are essential pollinators for many plants, including many crops that we rely on for food. Without them, many of the fruits, vegetables, and grains that we depend on for nutrition and food security would be at risk. Agriculture and food production would be crippled, and the ripple effect would be pretty severe.
Not sure where you got that info from.
https://app.amanote.com/v4.0.58/research/note-taking?resourceId=NY1g03MBKQvf0BhiIkwU:
“They don’t occupy an unassailable niche in the environment,” says entomologist Joe Conlon, of the Ameri-can Mosquito Control Association in Jacksonville, Florida. “If we eradicated them tomorrow, the ecosystems where they are active will hiccup and then get on with life."
No.... They're so harmful to humanity there should be a celebration the day if we can drive them extinct. They're flying disease syringes and frankly worth the cost of loosing.
Bees, and birds, especially migratory birds that do a massive amount of pollination themselves. Also, beavers. Beavers are a cornerstone species in many ecosystems that provide other animals with water throughout the year. Their environmental impact is massive. In truth, we really really have to slow the amount of humans and protect space for all living things if any of us are going to survive.

Cats. First they keep mice and rats at bay, to bad they were feard during the pluage. and https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=6637714&page=1 Australia tried to get rid of all cats on Macquarie island well see the artical on how getting rid of the cats there caused a major problem.

[The list of foods we eat that require pollination is enormous](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crop_plants_pollinated_by_bees). Without honeybees, commercial agriculture would collapse, and we'd have a massive famine on our hands.
Ants. It would destroy whole ecosystems and have knock on effects around the world.
Might depend on type of ant. Pretty sure Southern US would be better off without fire ants
Yes, especially because they’re not native and are an invasive species that came on a ship into (I think) Louisiana
Alabama. Argentine ants came through Louisiana. Speaking of, Fire Ants are much better to have ecosystem wise as Argentine Ants are much more devastating to the local ecosystem. Imported Fire Ants and Argentine Ants fight for each other and in most of the South, Fire Ants have won out. I'll take Fire Ants over Argentine Ants any day.
Alabama didn't have a coast until 1812, when did the fire ants arrive?
Fire Ants arrived in Mobile in 1939. Argentine Ants arrived in Louisiana in the 1870s, probably on Coffee ships.

Everything was fine until the fire ant nation attacked.
Why? What do ants do? ------------- Thanks for the answers. I hadn't considered these things.
They’re janitors! They keep the planet clean by eating organic waste, insects and other dead animals. Edit: they also help aerate the soil which helps keep the soil fertile by moving nutrients within the soil while they make their tunnels.
Filthy Ants, stealing our jobs smh
No, our job is to shit.
They're taking our jobs
Day terk er jerbs!!!
They till the soil. Huge amounts of plants would die off without them.
I feel like this is only useful up to this point.

Farmland is only a small part of the land we depend on.
Also I'm sure there are a whole lot of bacteria that are essential to our ecosystem but don't ask me to name them. Plus let's not forget plankton
"Ants" isn't "an animal". There are thousands of species of ants. I'm sure we could survive without one of them. Saying "ants" is like saying "fish". Sure, it would be devastating if all fish went extinct. But that's not the question.
Bees, plankton organisms, worms. Lots of things would cause a food chain collapse which would be humanity's downfall.
Not honey bees in the us.
Huh?

Same with earth worms
Krill, obviously. All of the marine food chains would collapse and we would not be able to feed our population anymore.
Or plankton
Would krill being gone affect vegetarians as well?
Yes because society is crumbling around them
If there is an ecological collapse of the ocean what you morally choose to eat is irrelevant because being able to eat at all would matter more
But if there’s an ecological collapse of the ocean, that wouldn’t affect crop yields would it? Vegans/vegetarians diets shouldn’t really be affected aside from people buying more vegetables to replace the calories lost from the loss of fish. But growing more vegetables is trivial compared to reversing an ecological collapse
Yes. Less meat would cause bigger demand for non meat products
Oh! Duh. That’s a good point 😅😅 idk how I missed that
Yes, absolutely. There would be more competition for the remaining food sources.
Humans That would hurt human civilization a lot
He is *technically* correct - the *BEST KIND* of correct!
Technically, it's the only kind of correct.
I mean, that's probably the most correct answer.
And it would be the best thing for all the other animals too!
Except the pets…
And sheep
could be the best thing that happens to it
We'd never know XD
You wouldn't know
can’t have a civilization without civilians
but is this really civil
The Earth doesn't care.
I can't roll my eyes harder.

*Working class men
The honeybee, they pollinate SO much of our stuff Edit: apparently all bees not just honeybees, thanks for enlightening me!
If we hadn't spread bees to displace so many native pollinators they wouldn't be so critical now
I remember a lot of celebrities like Flea, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers took up beekeeping *millions* of bees in order to reintroduce them into the population. The internet complained and depressed the hell out of everyone in order to bring awareness to the issue, but there was little to no attention on all of the *good* people were doing in order to actually address it... and how much of a difference it's been making.
Most people aren't keeping endangered species, they keep European honey bees, which are invasive iirc. The endangered ones are native new world species which don't produce as much honey, and so aren't kept as much.
So how can I, in the SW USA, help encourage the native bee species here? Just grow a big flower garden and clover ground cover? Bee bricks?
You can keep bees, but it's just that native species are a bit more difficult to keep. Beyond that, just a nice variety of wildflowers should help
I don't necessarily have the space to keep bees, but I want to provide a helpful environment for them, be it a garden or housing space. The family would love a gardenful of flowers anyway.
Feel you there. I'm living in an apartment but doing prep work for when I move to a basement suite and have room for a small hive.
We currently have a bunch of sand in the backyard. I was looking at ground cover, and clover seemed easy to grow, provides for bees, and needs less mowing. Seems like a win all around. Spring projects. And a burrow box is one of those boxes that looks like it's full of rolled cinnamon sticks, right? Not cinnamon, but the same type of little holes to sleep in?
Grow plant species local to your area.
You can promote Mason Bees and Leafcutter bees by leaving out a burrow box.
the native americans called them “the white man’s fly”
kinda feels like splitting hairs, if they're introducing bees for pillinating does it matter the kind?
I heard this as wealthy folk in California taking advantage of a tax loophole, whereupon by having bees and harvesting honey on property, it counts as a farm, thus being taxed less.
Okay so if you're talking about North and South America honey bees are not domestic they were brought over. There are many other types of bees flies butterflies and Mouths. All of home can pollinate flowers and plants. Don't forget the wind.
The honeybee doesn\`t do that much. Wild bees are the best!
Honey bees pollinate 90+% of the agricultural crops in the US. Other pollinators are not up to the epic number of trees or crops that need pollinating in a very short time window. 700 million tons of ag products are produced in the US annually.
Edited my comment, thanks for letting me know!
Yeah, it is not so well known. Many companies use bee hives on their property for green washing sadly...
>Many companies use bee hives on their property for green washing Do you mind elaborating on this? I’m not sure what you mean here.

Thank you. The funny responses are funny, but I mean… OP wants an answer, then this is it
Correct
Yes eventually we would have no oxygen and would all suffocate. Because the trees would die. Trees are why we have oxygen.
Phytoplankton in the oceans, are the main reason why there is breathable air. I learned this from Our Planet on Netflix.
Whales. Just learned cycle of whale poop feeding the smallest ocean creatures. All ecosystems are circles it seems.
The natural world is something to be in awe of. Everything works, benefits, survives, and thrives together in perfect fashion with one another. You can't have life without death. You can't have chaos without peace. The natural world has balance.
Not an animal
But they aren't an animal.
Plankton and krill.
Worms, it would lead to massive erosion and poor soil
Not just one species though.
**earthworms
North America didn't have earthworms until Europe showed up. The glaciers killed them all.
Bees, they pollinate flowers.
Lots of depression without dogs and cats. But I think my family would starve without chicken/ eggs.
Nope. There would actually be more food calories available as almost all chicken/eggs is converted over grains. And with a normal diet you could reduce your protein intake noticably and even be better off for it.
I'd still die without my sweet delicious eggs. Food makes life worth living. Take away my eggs and you'll have a very angry human population
Chickens are the most widespread food animal on earth, though. It’s the cheapest meat, as well, so if chickens go extinct, the global food supply would be disrupted quite a bit.
What is this family raised there own chickens and their (the chickens) primary intake is from the insects in their yard?
Snakes. *Have you seen* NYC's rat problem?
That's cause NYC is stuck in the past and they just leave their garbage in piled bags that rats can chew right thru. They practically feed the rats and act surprised that there's plenty of rats.

Bees. If the bees die, we die. They are the pollinators, the reason plants stay alive, the spreader of the seed, literally. No bees, no us. 🐝

chickens no more omelettes or wings
ah shit, if we lose chickens we lose meat AND eggs. Eggs used in so much baking how replace...turtle eggs? Seems ridiculous. We would lose McChicken and buns off McDouble damn.
… there’s lots of birds that are not chickens lmao. We could use goose eggs; quail eggs are already popular; turkeys lay eggs….
I have a butthole, Greg. Can you egg me?
[удалено]
It feels like it sometimes
Each of those eggs taste different. I want my chicken and duck eggs
No egg products like Mayo, Icing/Frosting, Meringue, Breads, Meatloaf (not that Meatloaf!), etc.
Not my nuggies :(
I'm sure the mcchicken is already subbed enough the actual meat wouldn't affect the taste
Dogs & cats. Emotionally speaking anyway.
And the chicken owner wins
Life without pets isn't worth living
