>not one is dependent on bees. They are: Banana, Coconut, Potato, Sorghum, Barley, Corn, Rye, Sweet Potato, Cassava, Millet, Rice, and Wheat.

Not sure that is quite true for coconuts.  Although they are both wind and insect pollinated, a Google search will find a number of sites showing that bees are considered important pollinators for them.  The comparison between the Philippines and Vietnam here http://beephilippines.info/coconut-yields/  shows clearly that crops are greatly increased with good pollination by bees.
