No, honeybees are not native to California.
Specifically, the insect in question (Apis spp) appears to be an introduced species not only in the Golden State but throughout the entire Americas. Scholars generally identify the honeybee's original homeland as South and Southeast Asia. That honeybees were introduced with the permanent European settlements of the 17th to 19th centuries serves as one reason for the sparsity of edible plants - so many of which depend upon pollinators - native to the United States of America.

Yes, honey bees can pollinate plants other than flowers. For example, in California, honey bees are absolutely essential to pollinate the almond trees.
No, it was imported by European settlers. Australia does have its own native bees, but not the honey bee nor the bumble bee.
No, honey badgers do not eat euglossine bees since their native ranges do not overlap. The mammal in question (Mellivora capensis) is native to Africa, India, and southwest Asia. The insect in question (Euglossini tribe) is native to Central and South America.

[1] The oldest honey bee fossils have been found in Europe. [2] But it's thought that honey bees came from South and Southeast Asia, and the Philippines. There are seven living species of honey bees, and all but one are native to the previously mentioned areas. [1] The oldest honey bee fossils have been found in Europe.

Yes, bees live in Venezuela.Specifically, bees are native to every continent except Antarctica. The South American continent upon which Venezuela is found has habitats which support both native and naturalized bees. An example of a bee native to Venezuela is the Meliponagenus of stingless bees whereas an example of a naturalized bee is the Apis genus of Africanized honey bees.
Honey comes from Bees like Honey Bees.
No, honey bees are insects that produce honey as a food source. Honey bees collect nectar from flowers and use it to make honey, which they store in their hives as a source of energy. Honey bees are not made out of honey.
The almond orchards of California are pollinated by honey bees. No bees means no pollination. No pollination means no almonds. Result - economic disaster for the almond growers.
