Good point, but I don't think it's as hard as you suggest, and no personal interest sacrifice is required.
For example, by growing clover, the orchards would not only attract bees, but also provide fertilization to the trees (when the nitrogen stored in the clover is released when the clover dies back a bit after each mowing).
Are there additional costs? Sure, but if viewed as an investment, those costs pay for themselves eventually. I think there are orchards already practicing this, but I would bet the majority aren't aware of such practices (market education needed).
