We have honey bees here and also plenty of the natives.
We also have a huge variety of plants some of which are shared by all of the pollinators.
My guess is there may not be enough variety of plants in the neighborhood.
Pollinators need more than fruit trees to survive.
Here my task is to introduce more plants that flower and produce forage during the summer. I'm selecting herbs for that. I don't think honey bees have too much impact on other pollinators on a large scale.
