Invasive honey bees are less effective pollinators for most native plants than native bee species. However, they indeed consume a lot of nectar, leaving less for the native bees to survive.

Admittedly, it's not a simple relationship, but between increased competition and fewer resources due to landscape changes, it's not necessarily a good one.
