No. The blue-banded bee of Australia is under threat, but it is not officially endangered.
The Lantana is visited by bees, and butterflies and is even planted to be used as a "honey plant" or for "butterfly gardening". Some species of birds will eat the bloom of the Lantana. The Blue banded Bee usually collects most of it's nectar from blue blooming flowers, they don't "eat" flowers, including the Lantana.For more details, please see the sites listed below.
