To be fair, the crops didn't exist when the native pollinators were alpha, so the argument is semi-irrelevant. Again, the bigger problem is just that insect populations are failing. The focus should be fixing that, with that comes the bees. Although, that means fixing climate change. Soooo....
To be fair? You can’t just say that and remove the point of the discussion - the pollination of modern agricultural methods - and then say it’s Irrelevant. What kind of argument is that?
