Native bee species, most of those don't make honey. If you need to protect a species it might as well be one that makes food.
Not being native is that one of reasons they are having a harder time surviving without more intense management? Would native pollinators pollinate just as efficiently without the intense management? We have people with hives around but know of sevral trees around our farms with honey bees that do not get collected. Sometimes I sm amazed at my lack of knowledge. Here is a colony moving this spring. About ran into them with the mower.
