Agricultural Crops Requiring or Benefiting from Bee Pollination

Again as I stated vegetable crops require bees others benefit but not absolutely needed.

Yes, we can keep this up for months, but the validity of the importance of bees in our ag sector remains, just as it does in Europe where they have been growing crops much longer than us, or anyone else.

This entire issue with this thread and bees, is caused by seed treatments to increase the yields on corn and canola. Two crops.....that don't need bees, yet are affecting bees to make goofy oil that has no cholesterol and methanol for cars.

I think it could be said that we have hurt the Ag sector to make the enviro's happy.

Can we agree on that? perhaps.....Is there a political side to this that we may be missing?
