Would wild bees, bumble bees, etc. polinate the crops?

They would pollinate but just not as easily. Without commercial honey bees people would have to start relying on local gardens for alot of produce and even then we might be hard pressed to feed everyone.

Basically you have enough pollinators that aren’t bees or are other types of bees in local yards to pollinate the problem is that type of insect population doesn’t exist to properly pollinate the mega farms we have today.
