  abstract = {{D}ue to the increasing pressures on bees, many beekeepers currently wish to move their managed livestock of {A}pis mellifera into little disturbed ecosystems such as protected natural areas. {T}his may, however, exert detrimental


competitive effects upon local wild pollinators. {W}hile it appears critical for land managers to get an adequate knowledge of this issue for effective wildlife conservation schemes, the frequency of this competition is not clear


to date. {B}ased on a systematic literature review of 96 studies, we assessed the frequency of exploitative competition between honey bees and wild pollinators. {W}e found that 78% of the studies highlighted exploitative


competition from honey bees to wild pollinators. {I}mportantly, these studies have mostly explored competition with wild bees, while only 18% of them considered other pollinator taxa such as ants, beetles, bugs, butterflies,


flies, moths, and wasps. {T}he integration of non-bee pollinators into scientific studies and conservation plans is urgently required as they are critical for the pollination of many wild plants and crops. {I}nterestingly, we found


that a majority (88%) of these studies considering also non-bee pollinators report evidence of competition. {T}hus, neglecting non-bee pollinators could imply an underestimation of competition risks from honey bees. {M}ore in-


clusive work is needed to estimate the risks of competition in its entirety, but also to apprehend the context-dependency of competition so as to properly inform wildlife conservation schemes.},
