Well, no wonder you need tons of scientists and academics scratching their heads wondering where the bees have gone. I doubt it's just the crops blooming for two weeks a year that is the significant factor. Small, mixed use, farmers would probably know better.

Will not support enough bees year round to adequately pollinate the crop for high yields. Absolutely, totally spot on. Many years ago when I worked at KWSU -TV I helped edit a half hour weekly program for farmers in Eastern Washington put on by the Ag dept at WSU. One episode I remember vividly put together back in the late 1970's was about pollinators (bees) and how critical the timing was for various crops. Native bees were only effective for native vegetation that existed thousands of years ago, not the mono cultures we have today.
