Arabica Coffee

Honeybees visit coffee flowers primarily for nectar, which contains caffeine that enhances their memory of the floral scent, encouraging return visits. Blooms occur in short, fragrant white flushes triggered by the onset of rains after dry periods, with each flush lasting only a few days. Although self-fertile, bee pollination improves fruit set and uniformity; plants thrive under partial shade with consistent moisture and well-drained soil.
