Bees contribute enormously to agriculture, as they are necessary for pollinating 75% of the world's crops, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. However, Brazil is suffering a shocking loss of its bees, probably due to pesticides. As if the fires destroying the Amazon Rainforest are not enough, now Brazil faces another potential disaster.
I once heard that if all the bees in the world died, it would collapse the eco system. But I duno if that's actually true.

There are other pollinators besides certain species of honeybees. I'm not worried. And maybe it's time for someone to invent tiny drone pollinators.
