    What about the non bee insects?

      Not many realize this, but sticking with the non-bee pollination theme you have things like beetles, butterflies, moths, some species of flies, ants, wasps… the list goes on.

      Non-inscect options include some speciea of bats and birds.

      That’s not even getting into the tons of other useful things insects do.

          I always said that if I wasn’t a human, I would be a rhinoceros beetle (kabutomushi).

          Apparently I may have been right!

        I once heard someone smarter than me say that if all insects were to vanish the earth’s ecosystems would fully collapse in 10 years.

        Considering what insects do for our planet, I believe it.

        Also insects are dying but so are other species
