What are the immediate economic and food security implications of the massive honeybee die-off in the US?

This surpasses previous losses (40-50%) and threatens the $15 billion fruit, nut, and vegetable industry dependent on bee pollination. One leading beekeeper reports finding tens of thousands of dead bees, describing the situation as potentially the worst bee loss in recorded history.
