All the research I’m hearing around North America would indicate the fear about competition is overblown. Honey bees, not being native, don’t necessarily go after the same pollen sources as native bees. Some good research out of Alberta showed that native bees were for example going after native plants whereas the honey bees were shown to fly farther distances to find things like canola. In my own yard (hobby guy, not commercial) I have at least three types of native bees and I watch them cohabitate with my honey bees very similar to what the research in Canada demonstrated.
