So what happens to the apple crop when they don't use honeybees to pollinate it? They get fewer apples. How much fewer? The above chart shows that apples are 90% pollinated by honeybees so logic would suggest that apple production would decrease by 90%. But this isn't true. Apple production depends very little on honeybees. Here's the official Australian Department of Agriculture numbers on apples (which are listed in the above table as 90% dependent on honeybee pollination): Carl, did you know that AU is a different continent from N. America? And if you knew that fact, then why are you moving the goal posts? Oh wait..............I debunked your position on honeybees in N. America so you are bringing up AU to defuse the humiliation you are feeling. I understand.........but you can understand when I say that's not really playing fair and I will no longer interact with you on this subject. Have a good one!
