Native bees are less inclined to do this because native bees evolved with
native plants. Native bees come in different sizes and different tongue
lengths which helps determine the forage fitting. Interestingly, some native
bees are actually specialists, feeding on a select genera of plant.
 
>And exactly the reasons why increases in aggregate levels of bloom (quite often associated either with agriculture or development) may be contrary to some native bees survival. More stuff does not mean everyone shares equally in the wealth.
