If I were going to make a model of pollination networks that included human

interactions with pollinators and plants there are several types of relationships I
would have to convey in the model. For relationships between humans and
pollinators I would include a falcultative mutualism. Falcultative meaning that both
species benefit from the relationship but that one of the species, in this case the
pollinator, can exist without the other, the human. In an agricultural setting where
pollinators benefit by receiving nectar or other plant products from crops that have
been cultivated by humans, the pollinators and the humans benefit so I would call
this a mutualistic relationship. We could not receive the benefits without pollinators
but the pollinators could go on existing if we were not in the picture therefore we are
dependent on them and they are not dependent on us. Therefore on the human side
I would say that there is an obligate relationship. Humans are obviously dependent
on pollinators from an agricultural standpoint. From an ecological standpoint though,
humans are also dependent on pollinators for the continuation of primary production
in food webs, biodiversity and overall health of wild habitats that we also receive
many ecosystem goods and services from.
I would also dare to say that in an agricultural setting you could consider the
human/pollinator relationship as a slight form of parasitism on the side of the
humans, especially when the pollinators have been raised and brought in specifically
to pollinate a crop. The pollinators are over stressed and overworked in an intense
agricultural setting and succumb to various threats as they perform their duties. The
possibility of not being able to live out their lifespan and fulfilling their instinctual
drives are very high. So the pollinators expend copious amounts of energy at the risk
of dying, while humans get the economic benefit of their crops being pollinated and
the nutritional benefit of the food product.
As far as human-plant relationships that would need to be considered in creating a
model, I would say that in an agricultural setting they are mutualisms. The plant is
provided with essentials for life, water, soil, and nutrients by the humans that planted
and tend to the crops; and the humans receive the benefits of the nutrition and
energy provided by the plants as primary consumers and also the energy we receive
as secondary consumers by eating the animals that eat the plants. However, again I
would say plant human relationships are falcutative on the side of the plants and
obligate on the side of humans because plants can grow and reproduce without the
help of humans but humans could not live without consuming plants and other
consumers that eat the plants and other animals. Humans and plants also have a
diffuse relationship on the side of humans because humans are not dependent on
one single type of plant for existence but sustain themselves with many different
species of plants. 
I believe these relationships would stay relatively the same in agricultural versus wild
settings because again humans would be dependent on the pollinators and plants
that grow in the wilderness but the plants and pollinators would not be dependent on
the humans. The plants and pollinators however are put under less stress when left
in wild habitats and flourish and biodiversity can be protected unlike the monocrop-
cultures we see in agriculture. The plants and pollinators most definitely receive
more nutritional benefits from a healthy and diverse wild ecosystem than they do
from just one single species. In a developing country I fear that pollinators and plant
biodiversity would be less protected and therefore would suffer greater than in
countries that already have established environmental protection law and regulations
in place. As the human population grows and more cultivated land is needed to
sustain human and animal agricultural diets, protecting pollinator networks and
biodiversity will be supremely important.
