You might be thinking about this backwards — a large amount of industrial agriculture is already dependent on deliberate honeybee transportation and deployment (google “commercial pollination”).
I don’t know the extent to which this reflects the decline in wild insects though (when you watch 1970s road movies with their bug-splattered grills and windshields it’s clear that things have changed a lot in parts of the US)

"damn i probably turned his whole life upside down..." but maybe it actually turned out good for him bc he spread his seed like super far...

fruitjelly I know less about indigenous NZ flora/fauna but it’s def fun to read about European diets before the deliberate or accidental transmission of various seeds/organisms back from the New World
