Our exploitation if honeybees for honey and crop pollination in turn pushes out native bee species, which then causes native flora to lose pollinators with which they have a symbiosis. There are bee nests you can buy or even make (they're basically blocks of wood with deep holes of the right size) to help them survive, along with generally changing consumer habits to reduce exploitation.
