>Granted that honeybees are non-indigenous species, can you then say that honeybees, a “foreign species,” “have adversely affected the habitats economically, environmentally, and ecologically?” 

possibly:

"The results of this study demonstrate that, while both honey bee and 
bumble bee trypanosomatids are host specific at the genus level, at least
C.bombi has the potential to be vectored by a second 'host' taxon(Apis mellifera)"
