Not disagreeing with you just curious why they would largely only pollinate fruit trees?

Good question. I should have specified that I was saying that in the context of conventional crops. From what I've read, they don't pollinate many conventional crops but they are drawn to fruit trees. Otherwise mostly native plants which humans don't cultivate for food.

In some places I know similar species are actually grown for commercial pollination, so it'll vary from place to place for sure.
