    They’re problematic even in their native range because people keep too many of them and they compete with other important pollinators, often other bee species. Honey bees don’t pollinate all species they take pollen and nectar from and those species are then not visited by their specialised pollinators, leading to decrease in numbers of both plants and pollinators.
