Oh wow! I love how you slowly introduce the bee-less future, almost hitchcock style.
Indeed. Bees may be a nuisance, but their existence is so necessary! After studying them recently for a story, I really don't want to imagine what our world would be without them.
Thanks, Rose! Yeah, a world without them would be horrid. All the ways humans can make it go wrong. Fortunately, there are other pollinators, but our demand far outweighs their ability to pollinate quick enough.
