    and there’s no way natives can do the job.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m curious if you have relevant peer reviewed information to back that statement up.

      Nope. There are multiple papers citing native pollinators as “gap fillers” for crop pollination, but none suggesting they can take over completely. On top of that, honey bees can be managed like livestock and hives can be moved en masse to where pollination is needed, something that cannot be done with natives.
