Answer 1

In the absence of bees, many plants need to be pollinated by hand. Workers use brushes to brush pollen on the plants manually. This is being done increasingly in China, where pollutants and insecticides have largely destroyed bee populations in some areas. Imagine a huge field of crops, and someone has to brush every flower with some dust. Crazy. We need bees!
