*A. mellifera *is an invasive species of pollinator in North America, .. By this time, any remaining native pollinator species have demonstrated their ability to coexist with a wild-living honey bee population.

Not to be blunt but the very fact that they coexist negates the concept of invasive. According to The National Wildlife Federation:

An invasive species can be any kind of living organism that is not native to an ecosystem and causes harm.

Examples of Invasive Species

Asian carp are fast-growing, aggressive, and adaptable fish that are outcompeting native fish species for food and habitat in much of the mid-section of the United States. 

Zebra and quagga mussels harm native fish populations, ruin beaches and attach to boats, water intake pipes, and other structures, causing the Great Lakes economy billions of dollars a year in damage. 

Feral pigs will eat almost anything, including native birds. They compete with native wildlife for food sources such as acorns. Feral pigs spread diseases, such as brucellosis, to people and livestock.

Doesn't anyone really think that honey bees belong on this list?
