All the major staple foods are wind pollinated.

Wheat and corn and a number of other plants are wind pollinated, so we won't lose everything. And we'll probably keep some plants that need bees alive in conservatories through manual pollination.

Still scary, in that a single disruption, like a new illness infecting crops, would have a much bigger impact.
