    This comment would make more sense if each of those individual things you explained were isolated and in a vacuum. But they’re not. They are all intricately intertwined.

      Your comment would make more sense if we weren’t talking about industrial monoculture crop production. Honeybees are certainly important in a broad sense (though not to any ecosystems in the US, they are not a native species after all), but they are not involved in the production of these ingredients, and the original image is wildly misleading (though obviously made with good intentions).

        Nothing on the OP is talking about honey bees. There are many species of bees. I’m a big fan of mason bees; they pollinate like 20 times more than a honeybee, iirc.
