Maybe our taxonomy is wrong.. 
Maybe these insects should be considered part of the &quot;plant kingdom&quot; ?<p>Given that [certain] plants cannot survive without (these) insects, it results that (these) insects are an essential part of [those] plants.<p>Or, more grossly, (these) insects are actually part of the plant organisms.
For the plants they are a form of detachable reproduction organs.<p>The other way around:<p>Bees have external &quot;organs&quot; - the plant part. 
The bees are part &quot;animals&quot;, part plants - they need the plant &quot;organ&quot; for nourishment and they choose who the plant will mate with.<p>This way of looking at animals&#x2F;plants has certain implications:<p>We can&#x27;t just look at a peach garden without also considering the bees and other insects required for the garden&#x27;s long term survival.
Why stop at bees ? What about all the other insects&#x2F;animals who depend on these &quot;unified&quot; organisms ? Are they also 
part of some sort of  larger &quot;organism&quot; ?<p>---<p>See, the reason it is very difficult to address many of the complex problems that we have in the world today is because we use these taxonomy systems (in programming terms - &quot;class hierarchies&quot;) - they define and limit our ability to grasp the complexity of the full system.<p>And somehow, we maintain these taxonomy systems without refactoring them, even though our understanding of nature has grown considerably after these systems of categorization have been introduced many years ago.<p>Just like a well designed class hierarchy leads to a clean and efficient application, so should the way we categorize things and beings in nature determine the overall health of the whole system.<p>It is rarely possible to come up with the perfect class hierarchy from the very beginning, since the problem is rarely clearly defined and changes over time, so we refactor.<p>We need to keep our class hierarchies in sync with the objective reality and the same should be done to taxonomy systems, otherwise &quot;reality&quot; doesn&#x27;t quite fit in our neatly defined boxes of boxes of boxes of things, like Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, etc
