Many people probably don't think about it. As far as they are concerned they are conditioned into going to the supermarket for their fruit and veg. They buy it in little packs, it all looks perfect. As far as they know, humans are in charge of the food supplies coming onto the shelves.
It is even possible some people don't actually know that there would BE no fruit and veg if it wasn't for bees and other pollinators.
And what they almost certainly don't realise is -even if they don't like their greens and rarely eat fruiit -that many other items in the supermarket are also the products of bee-pollinated crops.
And besides the impact on ourselves, which could turn out to be horrendous,....what about those bees? Bees are wonderful intelligent creative creatures and don't deserve to be treated with no thought to whether they become extinct or not.
