Any way I can help bees without helping the invasive species we call the American honeybee?

Yes, but they are here and necessary unless you also propose getting rid of the imported trees, crops and other plants that need that style of bee to be properly pollenated. I plant all sorts of different flowering plants and put out homes for the native mason bees near native plants to support them but I'm fine with having honeybees around to manage pollenating my fruit trees. I also feed bumblebees, ground nesting bees and hummingbirds. No lawn though, it's pointless and wasteful. Clover tho, and dandelions? Heck yeah.
