Let's say you have a planet which has water and air, but no plants or animals. Or perhaps you have a biosphere with artificially maintained air and water. You import top soil and seeds/plants for crops. You need to pollinate the crops, so you import honey bees. Side benefit: you also get honey.
Will the bees overpopulate without any other animals, insects or birds in the ecosystem? Or will they self-regulate?
(You may add chickens into the eco-system for the eggs, too, but that hasn't been decided yet.)
