Are bees the best pollinators? And could other pollinators take their place?

Why are bees held in much higher esteem than other pollinators? Are they the most efficient pollinators? And if so, what gives them the edge over other pollinators? Additionally, if bees dissapeared today would it be possible for plants to be pollinated just as efficiently if an extant species rose up to fill in the bee's "job"?

Different plants are adapted for pollination by different means - grasses are wind pollinated, many crops are bee pollinated, some plants are pollinated by other insects or vertebrates. The degree of specificity varies, with some plants requiring a specific insect species and others being pollinated decently well by a range of insects. Honeybees are a big deal because they’re colonial and humans have figured out how to move big groups of them around in boxes to pollinate crops. If every honeybee died, other bees and insects would pick up some of the slack, but yields might not be as good. Humans can also hand-pollinate, but it’s really time consuming.
