Bees and other insects are pollinators allowing food to grow. Say humans succeed at sealing themselves off in such a way that we can grow the food we need without impacting outside ecosystems.

Would humans still need pollinators? Would human pollinator populations be separated from outside populations?

The idea could inspire some entertaining science fiction. The best writer would probably have a background in Entomology and Horticulture.

Being sealed off wouldn't have to mean having zero contact with the surrounding nature. I think we can coexist with predators while still using some land for agriculture - just not all of it.
