I guess te main problem is (de) sincronicity . I mean, the prescense of
native bees is not manageable, they will peak at a given time in
sincronicity with given blooms, not necesarilly the crop you want to
pollinate. The main advantage of honeybees and certain comertial bumble bee
is manageability or dispatchability
