Since honeybees (apis mellifera) were first introduced into Australia in 1826, they have become widespread, abundant and a conspicuous component of the Australian insect fauna. Honeybees overlap with with native animals in their use of nectar and pollen sources and nest sites. It is therefore possible that honeybees have had significant effects on the Australian native fauna and flora.
