China: These humans are doing the work of bees

Pollinating plants by hand. That's the method used in China's Sichuan province because of the decline of bee populations.

    This is what human interference in the ecological system of the world is doing to promote the global climate. Mass use of pesticides are destroying our ecosystems globally.

    Apples and pears do not have "male" or "female" flowers, they have male and female structures in the same flower. Different genetic varieties are needed for pollination in most apples and pears, however.

    They rather pollinate each flower than to stop using harmful chemicals. Okay then.

    I live in the "fruit bowl" of Australia, surrounded by over a million pomme and stone fruit trees. People are employed to hand pollinate because of the ridiculous amounts of pesticides used, inevitably by farmers who vote against political parties that promote a Green agenda. It does my head in. At least 5 different insectides/herbicides are used, as well as having sunscreen applied. Insanity.
