Busier Than Bees?

A study suggests that it isn't only the decline of the Honey bee that we have to worry about (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/feb/28/wild-bees-pollinators-crop-yields?INTCMP=SRCH). It seems that many wild insect pollinators of our fruits and crops are also in a spiral of decline in various parts of the world. These losses may be even more serious as their varied methods of feeding appear to spread the pollen to a greater extent than our honeyed friend.
