You can easily know whether flowers are wind pollinated by just looking at their structure. These flowers have very small petal and they do not have any scent or nectar to attract insects. The pollen is also produced in large quantities since most of it never gets to the other flowers.

A honey bee is essential to the environment as we know it. Over 80 per cent of plants are pollinated by insects, and of those nearly 90 per cent are pollinated by bees.

As for the bee harming the environment, I can't think of any examples where this is the case.
