Since no one else repped this:

Quote

Bees, butterflies, beetles, and mosquitoes, to name a few, are plant pollinators that transfer pollen from one plant to another to allow for fertilization to occur. The majority of the human diet, about 50 to 90%, comes from flowering plants. These include apples, corn, and broccoli. These plants are also eaten by the animals we consume, like chickens and cows.

Insects are not the sole pollinators on Earth. Some animals also act as pollinators and some plants rely on the wind for pollination. However, about 75% of the crops used for food depend on insect pollination. If there were no insect pollinators, many of the fruits and vegetables humans eat would disappear. We may be able to find an alternate solution, such as hand-pollination or robotic pollinators, but the costs would be too expensive.

I've heard that without bugs (especially bees) our food supply would be seriously threatened.
