Fields and forests **not** drenched in pesticides are still crawling with bugs as usual, and they will quickly re-colonize former ecological niches, either when pesticides use decreases, or they develop a resistance.
And since dimwits keep brigning ''MUH BEES EXTINCTION WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE'' : there are THOUSANDS of species of pollinators which are doing fine, and most crops do not need pollinators ( ex : corn is fertilized by wind carrying the pollen ).
But some large monocultures ( ex : almond trees ) do use inbred domestic bees to increase yeild by more intensive pollination. This is usually when the domestic bees poison themselves by going on crops that carry pesticide residues, ex : neonicotinoid residues in nearby ponds or pollen and nectar.
Domestic bees are also plagued with parasites they have little resistance against. That is a job for better selective breeding to fix. Maby we find some other ways ( ex if we find another tiny species of bug that will kill varroa parasites without hurting bees ).
Male Mosquitos are actually one of the bigger ones. The females are smaller and drink blood, but the big,scary looking males are completely harmless and pollinate flowers
