Did I say that humans can't pollinate? Where is the source for your claim that one person is better than multiple bees?

Didn't read the quote in the last post did you?

but here is more evidence

One last additional factor is making things difficult for farmers: Global Climate Change. Frequent rains, fluctuating temperatures, and cloudy weather affect the number of days that plants flower and the times that pollinators can fly. Changes in flowering time also means that fruit trees and their local pollinators may not be in sync, which makes a mismatch between pollinator and plant timing more likely in an already strained system. Humans are more effective pollinators than insects under adverse conditions.

Using homemade pollination sticks made from chicken feathers and cigarette filters dipped into plastic bottles filled with pollen, a single person can pollinate 5 to 10 trees in a day. Children also participate by climbing the trees to reach the higher branches.

Did you realize that a bee can visit up to 5,000 flowers in a single day?

fyi trees flower before they make fruit, and they have many flowers on them, though I cannot find link with the number


again remember, you are arguing 1 bee > 1 human

but ofc being disengenuos you take a few bees to be like hundreds of them to maybe a hive to comapre to 1 human?

humans are definitely not ideal, they have to be paid and need rest, more food consumed for the work, but I am not arguing that we should kill the bees and replace with humans
I am saying your scale of worth is quite off saying 1 bee > 1 human just because a bee can pollinate plants because well so can a human as I have proven
