All the arguements that were given were not out of line.  And it does
pretain to the bees.  We grow large fields of crops today and there are
less pollinators because we have cut down the habitat for honey bees and
other insects.  Now we have to provide
pollinators to more and more crops.  Without the bees we would have to pay
alot more for many fruits and vegetables and nuts.  Over a third of all the
hives in the U.S. are brought to California each year to pollinate the
almonds.  (800,000 hives)
 
There centainly is alot more to be said about just the bees and don't
forget, they are not native to the U.S., but will not expound on it here.
