Abstract
Field crops rely on managed and wild bee pollinators, raising concerns about world food security. In North America alone, 4,000 native bee species, provide over US$1.5 billion each year from bee pollinated crops. Wild entpollinatology constitute a great part of bio-diversity. In US, the nationwide annual production value of wild pollinators was estimated over $1.5 billion; the worth of wild bee pollination in insect pollinated crops would be much more. Pollinator declines could translate directly into reduced production in many crops, and that wild species contribute substantially to pollination of most crops. By pollinating just a handful of crops, wild bees contribute over $1.5 billion annually.In this article, after realizing the significance of wild bees, we highlight to manage wild native bee pollinators to act as co-actors to honey bees in enhancing the global crop production.

Field crops rely on managed and wild bee pollinators, raising concerns about world food security
Many instances of Urban and Agricultural Areas Conservation measures are important in anthropogenic regions as more than 55% of the wild bee species survive in periurban habitats (UN, 2020)
Egan et al, (2020) demonstrated a newly designed strategy that is known as Integrated Pest and Pollinators Management (IPPM; Biddinger and Rajotte, 2015) the same we propose to be called as “Integrated Pest and Pollinators Management Technology” (IPPMT) where we blend various techniques to manage pest problems in crops alongwith flower pollinating players
Summary
Bees being the main flower pollinators in many bio-environments, pollinators are involved in the propagation of 80% of angiosperms (IPBES, 2016). Wild bees are of specific significance due to their capability to visit flowers in a different type of climatic conditions and environment (Brittain et al, 2016). The generalists are more tolerant to the different climatic conditions associated with human activities as they are capable to manage on other food assets (Roger et al, 2017). Damage of these biotic interplay effect in rapid species disappearances and negatively influence the working of the eco-bio-structure (Diaz et al, 2017). In Andalucía BeeFun project, is focusing on the improvement of knowledge and comprehension of the influence of environment, bee crop-pollination system and social units (Underwood et al, 2020; Drossart and Gerard, 2020)
