Mosquitos and flies also pollinate flowers, but not to anywhere near the extent that bees do, and that's probably not a swap that many people would be comfortable with.
Interestingly, this is the first year that I have not gotten any plums from my trees. Zero. I normally get a couple of hundred off a tree (and you can make some nice liquer out of it)
Maybe it's a co-incidence, maybe not.
What is probably more scary, is what happens in nature once bees are removed. Extinctions in the wild tend to have flow on consequences that can be hard to predict.
