   yes, without bees, who are the major pollinators, the world would slowly die from loss of vegetation. without pollinated plants to make new ones, they would die and the CO2 level would rise while the oxygen level decreased

   “searches of Einstein’s writings and speeches and public statements, as well as of (scholarly) compilations of Einstein quotations reveal nary a reference to the “four years” phrase or any other statement mentioning bees (save for a brief comparison between humans and colony insects such as ants and bees). The compiler of The New Quotable Einstein also found no Einsteinian source for this quote and lists it as “Probably Not by Einstein.”"

   No, he never said that.

   Einstein died in 1955. The line was first attributed to him in 1994, but there’s no record before that of him saying it.

   It’s another one of those things that “everybody knows” that just isn’t true.
