Tis the season, so I'm thinking the writer made a little typo and misquoted Dalial. It should have read as follows. 

While yields for potatoes, rice, wheat, and other crops that don’t need pollination may not benefit from more bees, vitamin-rich fruits such as apples, tomatoes, and citruses won’t deliver a crop without them, Freitak said.
