Mac,
Luckily many other bee types and insects pollinate. They say the bumblebee may have to take over for the honey bee. Trouble is, some plants are bee specific.
We do have neighbors with apple trees, but not close enough for wind pollination.

But I have a Famous/Snow Apple, Criterion, Red Gravenstein and a Johnathon. The last two newly planted a couple of years ago.
