Yes and no
Most of our produce is not pollinated any other way
There's a reason they have to pay for thousands of honeybees to pollinate California crops
A third of agriculture is pollinated by bees
And that's without getting into yield
For example. Take canola
A large chunk none the less
You can get a 40% yield increase for that crop by just having an apiary nearby
Yeep
Wow
I'm not arguing the importance of bees
And especially true for fruit or veggies
Just pointing out other forms and sources of pollination
My family farms lol
No need
Yes need
Just saying
No, I mean I am well aware of how pollination works
Dont really care who does or doesn't farm in all honesty
That's not meant to be a rude comment, it's just something I'd bring up either way
Ah okay
Its tha magic
The yellow powdery magic
Sneeze dust
The pollen

Also 75% of the world's flowering plants rely on bees for pollination while 35 percent of our food crops are pollinated by bees. There are around 3500 different species of bees.
