Two examples will help you with this: 1. An introduced honeybee Apis mellifera harvesting pollen of the native Psiadia terebinthina (Asteraceae) and 2. The native Bombus terrestris visiting flowers of the introduced Carpobrotus edulis. These two interactions help to develop native interaction networks. In the first case it helps these types of bee to obtain the pollen needed to subsist
