“the availability and diversity of fresh produce would decline substantially, and human nutrition would likely suffer. Crops that would not be cost-effective to hand- or robot-pollinate would likely be lost or persist only with the dedication of human hobbyists.”
“In Europe alone, 84% of the 264 crop species and 4,000 plant varieties exist thanks to pollination by bees. Some attribute the following quote to Albert Einstein: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live.””

I know it’s already on the post but I’ll say it.

Bees are already dying in great numbers.
