The most likely outcome of this change in the ecosystem would be:
The plant community will become smaller and less diverse.
This is because the reduction in the bee population would result in fewer plants being able to be pollinated, leading to a decrease in the overall plant community size and diversity.
Consider a field where many plants are specifically pollinated by bees. If there was a sudden increase in the population of a bee predator, such as the dragonfly, we might observe a reduction in the bee population, which would lead to reduced pollination.
