Is this a takeover?
 
We hear a lot about the end of the world as we know it if the bees die
out, but I wonder, It looks to me as if they may have a successor
already geting into shape, these were all taken this afternoon

Just consider Darwin's finches.

If a gap appears in the ecosystem something will evolve to fill it.

Lots of flowers with lovely pollen and nectar, designed to feed insects in
return for sex.
Something will take advantage of this.
