“The bees mostly affected aren’t a native species to North America either.”

There are no honeybees that are native to North America.

True, but there are numerous bee species native to the Americas...and which pollinated everything here, native crops like squash, peppers, beans, tobacco, tomatoes, potatoes, sumpweed, sunflower, lambsquarters, and quinoa before any honeybees arrived.

Yes, there are. Or there are bee species that were cultivated for their honey in North America. The Mayan Bee is one.
