Honeybees are one of the most common pollinators. But their flower-visiting habits make it harder for some plants to produce good seeds.

Honeybees brought to the US from Europe and Africa tend to move pollen between flowers on the same plant more than native bees do. This appears to lower the quality of some plants’ offspring

The unusual feeding habits of honeybees are likely leading to reduced populations of the Southwest’s dominant plant life, a new paper has found, suggesting the bees could be worsening southern California’s wildfires. The study comes amid a rising popular interest in protecting “pollinators” due to their role in helping plants reproduce. But honeybees’ health may come at the expense of many of the plant…

Scientists have shown that pollination by honey bees, which are not native to the Americas, produces offspring of considerably inferior quality (lower fitness) than offspring resulting from native pollinators. The study is believed to be the first to directly compare offspring fitness resulting from honey bee pollination with other floral visitors.
