TL;DR: The Africanized honey bee, a hybrid of European and African honey bees, is thought to displace native pollinators and shift in resource use caused by colonizing Africanized Honey Bees may lead to population decline of Neotropical pollinators.
Abstract: The Africanized honey bee, a hybrid of European and African honey bees, is thought to displace native pollinators. After experimental introduction of Africanized honey bee hives near flowers, stingless bees became less abundant or harvested-less resource as visitation by Africanized honey bees increased. Shifts in resource use caused by colonizing Africanized honey bees may lead to population decline of Neotropical pollinators.
