Honey bees and other species of pollinators are vital to the food supply chain of the planet. Without bees starvation would set in within a year globally, but big agriculture development companies are pattening GMO's with insecticides  in the genes of grain  In North America  it came to wiping out 50% plus of the honey bees. It's already happened.
  Mankind should quit screwing with mother nature instead of trying to make bigger profit from major food sources. Let's wake up and quit killing our selves. The large companies will always tell us we will need more food in the future, take it for what it is they are gaining profit and control of the world's food sources.
