<Still plenty of fruits and vegetables, just not as good looking>

In the case of Kiwifruit, less bees equals less bee visits to the flowers moving pollen equals a reduction in size of fruit, 

or to put it 

positively the increase in the number of bee visits to a flower increases the amount of pollen to the flower, increasing the amount of seeding which increases the fruit size.

I also understand the kiwifruit seeds offer small amounts of omega 3 fats. So the more seeds.......
