Notable that the common european honeybee is an invasive species that tends to preferentially pollinate invasive flora, at least in North America. The likes of bumblebees and carpenter bees are the ones that really matter for conserving and supporting native ecosystems even if they get less love in public media. They’re the bees that actually need saving.

It’s worth looking up what you can do to support native pollinators – including native bees – in your area. Some of the stuff is surprisingly easy – planting native wildflowers, for example, or setting up an insect hotel.
