Pesticide Residues and Bees – A Risk Assessment (2014, background): “Importation of bumble bees to make up for the losses of pollinators in the areas affected not only does not solve the issue but also creates more problems by exporting parasites to other regions or countries [8,9] or competing with native species [10].”
When mutualism goes bad: density‐dependent impacts of introduced bees on plant reproduction (2014, background): “Although both species can effect pollination, high visit frequency can reduce reproductive success via increasing pollen theft (Hargreaves et al., 2009), nectar robbery (Kenta et al., 2007), and flower damage (Combs, 2011).”
Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “…of honeybee hives can negatively affect the reproduc- tive success of plants through increased pollen theft (Hargreaves et al., 2009), nectar robbing (Kenta et al., 2007), physical damage to the flowers (Dohzono et al., 2008) or through the disruptive influence of honeybee workers on the patterns…”

Climatic Risk and Distribution Atlas of European Bumblebees (2015, background): “, 2010), worse pollinators (Kenta et al., 2007) or introduce novel pathogens (Stout & Morales, 2009), and thus put additional pressures on the native bee and plant community which might already be suffering from climate change (Schweiger et al.”
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “Ecological impacts are relatively well documented for invasive ants, forest herbivores and bumblebees, with effects on locally-occurring insect communities through trophic interactions such as predation or parasitism (Kenta et al., 2007).”
Extremely frequent bee visits increase pollen deposition but reduce drupelet set in raspberry (2014, background): “Although several studies have reported flower damage, they have mostly considered the effects of non-legitimate flower visitors, specifically nectar robbers (Cunningham 1995; Traveset, Willson & Sabag 1998; Kenta et al. 2007), which do not transfer pollen effectively.”
Abundance and diversity of wild bees along gradients of heavy metal pollution (2012, background): “However, only native bee species should be introduced into contaminated habitats because natural communities could be negatively affected by non-native pollinators, for example, by competition (Kenta et al. 2007).”
