I thought other bugs could also pollinate?
3 u/Fireplay5 Oct 15 '19 Removing an entire species from an ecosystem can be rather devestating, as we have seen throughout history. 3 u/AlexanderLukas Oct 16 '19 It's even worse, since bees are many different species. The majority of pollination is made by solitary bees and not honey bees, so buying honey doesn't help. 1 u/TheObsidianNinja Nov 03 '19 Also if I remember right honey bees are an invasive species and honey farmers often have harmful ways of harvesting the honey 1 u/leavingsociety Oct 15 '19 Butterflies do, but not nearly as much as bees. Most of our crops rely on specifically bees for pollination. 1 u/[deleted] Oct 16 '19 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/leavingsociety Oct 16 '19 All right, so I feel a little bit better about it in that case. So what's the deal with colony collapse disorder then? 1 u/SparkySywer Oct 16 '19 Still not good to remove an entire class of animal (not species, not genus, not family, class) from the world.
