Is this true? I never knew this. Is there another primary insect in the US that's a pollinator?

The US has countless pollinators.

it is also not easy to replace them in agriculture. Many wild bees (like mason bees) are incredible better pollinators than honey bees, but most of them are solitary (making them grow in large numbers almost impossible) or pollinate only specific types of plants.
