>>>>Following the war, beekeepers were faced with a dire situation and lobbied congress for protection. They raised the specter that without 5 or 6 million hives of bees, the nation's crops would not get pollinated. Apparently that was an illusion because today, with half that number, crops do in fact get pollinated.<<<<<
Self pollination is the major reason crops get pollinated. Cotton is an example of this. Among many other crops.
Cotton does not have the nectar producing ability it had before boll weevil  eradication program. Some say the nectar genes were restored, I have yet to see much happening. Cotton used to be a real nectar/honey producer.
