Bees experiencing the Rapture; honey-lovers alarmed

[Billy T]

....I was posting in the spirit of retailing common knowledge and ordinary observation, not esoteric scientific findings, but I should be able to dig up some kind of research - what, in particular, seems to need support in that post ?

Well idea would be some study that shows something approachng half of all ecoconmically significant crops are not pollinated by honey bees. Or some reputable paper that show bumble bees do poilinate even 10% of those crops.

I.e somethng that could lead one to hope that if all the bees did die, that food and fiber production would not drop approximately 90%.
