My point was merely that bees are the charismatic pollinators. The ones people know. Yes, there are many others. Most of them are in rapid decline too. For instance bats have "white nose syndrome" causing mass die-offs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-nose_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-nose_syndrome Birds are dying in droves worldwide. N America: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1805123115 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1805123115 https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/bring-birds-back/ https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/bring-birds-back/ France: https://phys.org/news/2018-03-bird-populations-french-countryside-collapsing.html https://phys.org/news/2018-03-bird-populations-french-countr... Compare with amphibians, also collapsing worldwide: https://www.dcceew.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/c-disease_1.pdf https://www.dcceew.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/c-di... Almost all wild mammals are gone bar a few percent: https://xkcd.com/1338/ https://xkcd.com/1338/ It is a sweeping generalisation, and so are dicots vs monocots. But the familiar monocots are grasses, which are wind-pollinated. Many dicots are wind-pollinated, including a lot of temperate zone trees, but the familiar useful ones are, generalising wildly, insect-pollinated. Non-angiosperms (gymnosperms, ferns etc.) are either wind pollinated, or don't make pollen and reproduce via spores, often via an intermediate sexual generation. As has often been noted, after WW3, the mosses will be fine.
