WORST FEARS?

I'm not sure if the internet is the best place to post your worst fears. Then the world could track you down, go into your house and use them against you, or something.

That was not my worst fear, by the way.
Bees/Wasps: Gah! I hate these things so god damn much!

RANDOM FACT
I read this today in an article, that, if bees suddenly went extinct, we would have 4 years to live. I don't believe this is completely true, we would probably have more than 4 years. But it would certainly cause extinction! So that's scary, that counts as a fear, right?

Also, I love bees, but wasps make a little more nervous, very vicious.
I'm very afraid of cancer, and also forests at night time.
...except that if bees went extinct, it would be the flowering plants that would suffer, not all plants. We'd cope. Plus, nature abhors a vaccumm - something else would take their place.

You have to remember that flowering plants are a relatively new plant type - they arose around 125 million years ago. (To put it into perspective, dinosaurs appeared some 230 million years ago).

Bees, which apparently evolved specifically due to mutualistic plant relationships, specifically the flower, are descended from wasps.
