To bee or not to bee

Recently the bumble bee was put on the endangered species list in the USA.  Apparently the bumble bee has been removed from, or died off in, 90% of its original natural habitat.

One third of all agricultural products are pollinated by bees. If the bees become extinct, then there will likely be world wide famine and hunger that destabilizes the established social institutions. It will be the end of life as we know it.
