"There is widespread concern about the global decline in pollinators and the associated loss of pollination services. This concern is understandable given the importance of pollinators for global food security; ∼75% of all globally important crops depend to some degree on pollination, and the additional yield due to pollination adds ∼9% to the global crop production (1). These services are delivered by a plethora of species, including more than 20,000 species of bees as well as butterflies, flies, and many species of vertebrates (1). Yet, concern has focused on one species above all: the western honey bee (Apis mellifera). This is unfortunate because research shows that managed honey bees can harm wild pollinator species, providing an urgent incentive to change honey bee management practices."

"Besides competing with wild species for resources (12), honey bees are linked to the spread of diseases to wild pollinators via shared flowers, an effect that is likely amplified by trade with and movement of honey bees (13). Honey bees can also have a negative impact on the reproductive success of wild plants (11) and even depress nonpollinator species—for example, the threatened Lear's Macaw in Brazil, which competes with honey bees for nest sites in rock cavities. The western honey bee thus unequivocally fits Geslin and colleagues' concept of a “massively introduced managed species,” which, regardless of whether they are native or not, can negatively affect their environment through sheer numbers (14)."
