      I doubt that they use wheat or any other natural product for the bread in the US.

        Yeah but surely the corn syrup also needs bees

          You’re on ml, learn some farming to be better acquainted with your fellow workers. Almost all grains are wind pollinated, including corn and wheat. It’s why throughout history grains tend to end up as staple crops despite the complicated methods humans need to use to get them edible to us ‐ they still grow even in times of environmental disaster and grow in much, much larger amounts than insect assisted pollinated crops.

      Wheat is air pollinated, like corn and most grains. You dont need pollinators for it.

    Silly question, but how are cows and potatoes pollinated by bees?
