What natural pollinators exist in north america and are they adapted enough to an agriculture based society that they will meet our pollinating needs?

If you have a cheap, easy solution to pollination in america for various industrialized crops, you can go make bank right now.

Of course not. Agriculture in the US is an industrial process, not an ecological one. Nature doesn't want California to be producing all these almonds, but that's what the bees are there to help happen.
