It would really hit the fruit crops, particularly orchards, hard. So much for apple, cherry, peach, and pear crops to name a few.

Will they be replaced with bees that only buzz in Spanish?
To: SJackson
Seems like I read just the other day that honey bee numbers were rebounding. It would be a problem if they did disappear but not tragic in countries like the USA. Also there is plenty of experimentation going on with native bees as pollinators.

“Are there other ways to pollinate without honeybees? That’s the good news. Yes, there are. Honeybees are not even native to the New World, but were brought here by Europeans back in the 1620s. For millions of years before then, pollination was conducted by other insects such as wasps and butterflies, some 3500 other types of bees native to North America, various birds like hummingbirds, and even some species of bats.”
However, most of the crops we eat we brought from the Old World along with the honeybees, so these would suffer.
Wind-pollinated crops like wheat, rice, and corn (and the other grassy grains) would not be bothered, but almonds, melons, apples, oranges, lemons, cucumbers and others would be.
This is serious stuff.

We’re only borrowing them. We don’t have bees on Planet Zoob. They’ll be back. Trust me.

California is more ‘produce-basket’ of the country, rather than breadbasket of the world—though a fair amount of grain is grown here, too.
