food crops
Answer:Exotic bee species are a threat to the healthy populations of European honey bees we have in Australia. If some species of exotic bees or diseased bees were to become established, current bee-dependent industries would be vastly affected. Bees don’t just provide honey in Australia — they also pollinate many of our crops. Some species that could be a threat are Asian, giant, dwarf, Cape, African and Africanised honey bees.
The importance of honey bees to our horticulture and agricultural industries is critical for the 35 Australian industries that rely on honeybee pollination for most of their production. For example, the Australian apple and pear industry was worth $457 million in 2013-14 and is reliant on honeybee pollination for production.
