We would, of course, lose honey. And for that alone we should look
after our honeybees!

Indeed we should look after our honeybees and all our pollinating
insects. But what Einstein actually said was "if the bees died..." not
"if the honeybees die". Apparently. So bumble bees are doing a great
job. Just look after ALL the pollinators and plant pollinating insect
attractive plants.

The "Einstein quote" is an urban legend:

Hence 'apparently'. Nonetheless, we do need pollinatiing insects!
