Yes and no. Yes, they compete with the other ones and due to domestication have very high population, but also the same factors endangering honey bees (insecticides, monocultures) also endanger other bee species. So while "give the honey bees more sugar water so they survive" would be horrible foe ecological diversity, actually adressing the underlying factors would largely also benefit other species.

I wouldn't even be surprised if to some degree that still applied to places where they're invasive tbh
