Honeybees are great pollenators but they are also an invasive domesticated species in most of the world.
Native bees exist all over the world too, but most don’t make honey so people don’t care about them. Flies, bats, lizards, hummingbirds, moths, etc. also pollenate flowers, but bees are specialists.
Most of our fruits rely on pollenation from some type of bee, so honeybees or other native bees are important to our food supply.
