Line 134:
* This can happen to countries who rely on cash crop farming to support their economies, especially in developing countries such as areas of Africa in the form of cotton and rubber to provide for its citizens and cover its expenses.
* The plight of bees worldwide has led many to speculate on how hard it would be for us to pollinate all the plants we rely on without them.
* There's a dystopian ant 'colony' that was discovered in a bunker. It has no reproductive members and the ants presumably don't last the longest time because of the horrendous conditions. They depend on new members of their society virtually falling out of the sky (which happens quite a bit, this distopia is about the size of a full sized colony of it's species) [http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/09/bizarre-ant-colony-discovered-in-an-abandoned-polish-nuclear-weapons-bunker/].
