>>Honeybees are not native to North America.

Neither are horses.

I guess the issue is you don't get honey with the native bees.

Good point. We need to genetically modify horses that can pollinate plants and create honey.

GMO hyper competitive feral cat colonies that ignore birds and pollinate gmo soybeans whilst collecting for their kitten hives. Each claw is of course a stinger. What could go wrong.

A quite similar horse species went extinct in North America ~10,000 years ago likely due to humans.

The horse ancestor species come from the Americas and migrated to Eurasia over the bearing land bridge.

Horses were only missing from North America for 10,000 of the last 50 million years.
