Both of the species mentioned are heading in the wrong direction.
Accelerating loss of honeybees guarantees less food, more humans mean we need more food.
Plus of course higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere reduces the nutritional value of whatever crops reach our retail outlets, where for many of us, is where most of our food comes from. Let's not forget that the loss of bees is a tragedy for the entire ecosystem, not only the services they provide for us, but the whole ecosystem is also linked.
I've added this analysis to my blog post on the unfolding food crisis.
" In addition to 733 million people facing hunger, 2.33 billion people — nearly 29% of the global population — are food insecure without regular access to the nutritious food needed to live a healthy life."
The food crisis isn't 'coming', it's here, now. Poor people are being punished because of wealthy peoples' emissions.
So, my dear Guy, what is the real human overpopulation number? I suggested to Prof Ehrlich a couple of years ago that he add an "H" to his iconic "I=PAT" for I=PATH, where the "H" stands for the trillions of dollars and incalculable environmental damage produced by our Healthcare Industry. I glimpsed at the morning nonews only to see the celebration of the LILLY price change to ONLY $499./month for their induced starvation "weight loss" drug. Americans spend over $4 trillion dollars a year on our least successful Healthcare Industry, ever more focused on keeping us chronically ill and elderly alive enough to keep taking their endless array of pharmaceuticals and doctor visits, all of which generates more pollution from extraction, production, and disposal. We are the plague that is destroying our Dear Mother Earth. Thank you for your courageous voice crying out in the wilderness, at least what's left of the wilderness. Have a blessed day! Gregg
As one who worked in the “Healthcare Industry”, you certainly know the disadvantages found therein. Thank you for the comment, and for following my work, Dr. Miklashek.

The food crisis is here for many people. I’m pleasantly surprised it hasn’t come to my house … yet.
Thank you for your never-ending collegiality, Kevin. Thank you for all you do in support of my work.
