There are many species of wild bees. Not "one".
Very few plants are restricted to being pollinated by bees only. Many other kinds of insects, alone, pollinate plants.
thanks
i have done a little reading
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_crop_plants_pollinated_by_bees
The takeover of the landscape by domesticated bees imported from other continents and protected by humans has done a great deal of harm to native pollinators - native bees among all the others.
maybe you could at the very least put a link in
you would need to show the urban creep habitat extermination of wild bees and insect pollinators as clear science against a crop system of mixed spread crops
but im not going to split hairs with you.
the way you have worded your sentence suggests your financially in bed with something.
(maybe you are just reacting instead of applying a scientific method of results orientated methodology)
or
you are deliberately trying to miss lead the true science
i thought you were pro real science ?
the supply & demand system leaning on mono crop pricing macroeconomics defines the reality of human food chain cost access.
the cost access to put fruit & vegetables on the super market shelf where 80% of the worlds population get their food from
would be reduced by around 65% with out bees
inflationary pricing would reduce that probably by a factor of 15 to 20% of that margin(5 to 10% over all)
the knock on effects of stock market pricing on all grain products would be global inflation and lead to hoarding and stock piling and short selling
which would be a night mare version of the corn bubble that happened with bio-fuels
soo...while there may be some relevant data that suggests not all human food is ORIGINALLY pollinated by bees
the fact remains the bees control the entire supply and cost pricing system that delivers food to the shop floor at prices the average working class person can just afford.
though many say the food prices are already to expensive.
food banks seem to be very busy everywhere.
this is the 2nd post you have made with some clear undercurrent bent toward hiding some scientific real coal face facts in the last week
whats up with that ?
fyi
you can see someone is paying for propaganda to be put on google to dominate search results(nothing new)

I admit I haven’t been paying the most attention to the topic of biofuels the past few years, after studies made fairly clear that the social, energy, and environmental benefits of the predominant player, corn ethanol, were generally overhyped when factors like oily fertilizers and the wisdom of converting more land to corn came into play.
Would Roz by any other name find biofuels as sweet?Photo: Roz NaylorAs it turns out, this not-uncommon assumption, that the biofuel bubble has burst, is an a-maize-ing farce, pointed out Rosamond (Roz) Naylor, professor of environmental earth systems and economics at Stanford, in the second “Eating Your Environment” lecture I attended at the University of Washington last week.
Biofuel producers continue gushing out more and more biodiesel and ethanol each year: According to Naylor, the industry is expected to reach 24 billion gallons in 2010. Biofuels now make up 2 percent of total transportation fuel around the world, somewhat diluting the amount of petroleum we’re pumping into our engines, at least directly. That may not seem like much compared to the 1.3 trillion gallons of gasoline consumed last year, but Asia’s rapidly growing appetite for transportation fuels raises the question of whether the world can support such a massive transition from bicycle power to crude oil and ethanol. Unlike actual hunger, appetites for transportation fuels seem to be insatiable while the geological and biological systems producing these fuels have very real limits.

From 2005 to 2012, dozens of companies managed to extract hundreds of millions in cash from VCs in hopes of ultimately extracting fuel oil from algae.
CEOs, entrepreneurs and investors were making huge claims about the promise of algae-based biofuels; the U.S. Department of Energy was also making big bets through its
bioenergy technologies office; industry advocates claimed that commercial algae fuels were within near-term reach.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Corn, the elemental building block of the American food chain, is trading at a two-year high. That’s great news for corn farmers, but it’s prompting plenty of hand-wringing by those whose livelihoods depend on feed prices.
December corn futures recently topped $5 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, a remarkable 40% jump in just more than a month.
The impact is being felt as far away as Wall Street. Sanderson Farms Inc. SAFM, -0.10%, a major poultry producer that does not hedge feed costs in the futures market, was downgraded Tuesday by J. P. Morgan to neutral from overweight. The analyst did not mince words: “Corn is the villain.”
i could link in some price jumps of food but im sure you are intelligence enough to draw a conclusion from
breakfast cereal prices jumped, ... also...
the direct financial connection with things like feed for chickens
future short selling and market price gambling of retirement funds etc...
down stream cost delivery of basic staples to low income majority population people...
etc etc ...
