maybe omnipotent? I kinda worship all of the pollinators...
No, no, important!
We are here in the 'beehive state'--we have lots of backyard honey bees in this area as well as full scale hives for the fruit orchards and other crops, plus the odd hives out in the sagebrush
Our gardens are visited by many bees, both the imported honey bee varieties as well as the many natives. Aside from the warm/dry winter we just had with vary scarce resources for all of them that didn't 'hibernate' so well, I can't say as I can appreciate a situation *here* where the resources are so scarce that the honey bees take them away from the natives.
Interestingly, they all seem to find their niches very well and I love to see the long tongue bumblers on the echies and the short tongues on the origanum and the thread-waist wasps on the solidago and the honey bees on the sedum and the mason bees all over the catmint--for example, when I take a stroll to see who is where on a given afternoon, which is not to say that I don't see a lot of sharing too.
In terms of 'sharing', though, some of the natives are pretty aggressive moving the honey bees out of their way...like those cute furry digger bees, dang!
