> The fear of native pollinator effects (because there is very little data, but much theorizing) cannot be adequately addressed
Turns out, in some cases the exact opposite occurs. Instead of harm to natives, there is benefit. Honey bees brought in increase pollination of bee plants, which increases seed set, which increases propagation. The increased abundance of forage benefits native pollinators as well as HBs. Other wildlife too.
