Hank,
Maybe not. Intensive agriculture places a demand for pollination on thousands of acres all at once. Honey bees are trucked in across the country to handle the task, then packed up and sent to the next crop.

There was no intensive agriculture before the colonists came.

Yes, I know. They are doing it today. (Guess not all the bees are gone, eh?)

It very well may be a problem, but my point is it won’t be the end of the world. Life on earth does not depend on the survival of any one species of life. I’m also convince the honey bees will survive as well.
