We have thousands of native bees here (you can literally hear them walking by anything in flower), but the "agricultural" areas of California (and most other states) are sad, lifeless places. But that could probably be reversed within a decade or less by changing management practices (e.g. spraying less and adding habitat). I would suspect there are native bees that would move in if the conditions were better. Adding bee & bird habitat increased our yields dramatically.
