To add, most farming relies precisely on honeybee for pollination, and losing 2/3 of them would be quite devastating.

Of course nobody cars about wild bees, our lives don't depend on them nearly as much.

It may be that agricultural mechanization requires honeybees simply because they're the ones we can farm themselves.
