Hmm. Nope. Pollination is not about honey bees and certain flowers. Pollination is a network of many sized pollinators and many sized flowers. There is a lot of overlap. You have flowers with nectar accessible to all, virtually on the surface and you have ones with very deep tubes requiring creatures with very long tongues. &c.
