Or, just get like, 1,000 workers to go around manually pollinating things all day.

1,000 human workers? I don't think you realise that only certain species can pollinate. We need millions of members of an animal in order to pollinate (that's why insects, bees and butterflies etc pollinate). We need them to do it 24/7/365/For the rest of their lives.

Since I'm to lazy to read previous statements would this be added to SE?

Will the bees be on scorched earth?

Nothing stated on whether it will or won't, but general consensus until confirmed is: No.

Obviously it wouldn't be an industrial scale farm, just like, a greenhouse. Obviously, a greenhouse wouldn't feed many things, but I'm sure there are alternative sources of food that doesn't need pollination.

would be very cool if you can tame those beasts

By the way does anyone know if they can prick you with their sting and what happens if they do?

[KozacK]

any news ?

Please don't name the workers bee's drones. Drones are males that can not sting and only leave the nest to be killed by queens during mating.
