Why do farmers choose to have honey bees pollinate their apples as opposed to other bee species?

Honey bees live in a colony of around 50,000 bees in the season so there are more of them when needed. Bumble bees might have only 50 bees in a nest but are still used when growing fruit in polytunnels.
