Did you know that honeybees were not in America until they were brought here from Europe? Many other flies and bees did the pollination previously.

Luckily, thanks to the magic of modern chemistry, we managed to mostly get rid of those damn bugs.

That specific species of honeybee wasn't in the Americas. There were native species that are being outcompeted and dying out.

"Killer" bees are an example of a native honeybee species.
