> Why were honey bees introduced if there were enough native pollinators?
I wonder if pollination had anything to do with the introduction of the
honeybee. If understood at all, at that point in history, it may have been
seen as a side benefit. I'm "speculating" that honeybee importation to the
varying "colonies" around the world had more to do with man's sweet tooth.
