Except for wasps, f#@k wasps, I get the Dyson out, and enjoy the dull thud as they bounce off the inside of the extender hose.

Bees are not the only pollinator going of course. I've actually noticed an increase in both birds and insects near Cambridge - I think improved farming practice has helped.
However, I think it's a bit nuts we import pheasants solely to shoot them - many escape, meaning we are artificially introducing a non native, competitive species that actively eats the same food as many of our song birds. Some strange traditions we have
It's utterly fucked up.
I said maybe.....
Tawny Owl and various treecreepers and Finches .Get some Jays too which aren't so common now.
Insects ?.....every year we are plagued by Hornets ,starting around June onwards......have never been able to find the nest but we get hundreds around the windows and any light source at night.
I bought a Butcher shop type UV lamp grid and fitted outside back door.........you can hear a snap every 3 or 4 minutes as another one of the bastards fries every night if not raining.........I got stung 3 times in under a minute last year and couldn't move my arm for a day......hate them.
Really strange and sad but last week we had 2 male woodpeckers fly into a window within 10 minutes of each other..both died on the spot.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

Indeed, citation needed - apparently over 40 million non-native pheasants were imported into the UK. Meanwhile, I know of a farmer that catches and kills magpies in the help songbirds, while releasing pheasants onto the land for sport.
If anyone can point me to the logic and sense, as well as proof that pheasants do not eat insects or grain I might consider the opposing view more seriously. I understand they are omnivorous but that doesn't mean they don't share some of the same food, or interact with the environment in other ways.
He does not like Chris Packham, I'm not sure about Terry Nutkins.
What we can safely draw from this is that farmers are just as capable as anyone else of spouting unscientific bullshit. Driving a tractor for a living only really makes you an authority on driving tractors.
