Boxelder
Boxelder offers abundant early-season pollen and moderate nectar to honeybees, aiding initial brood rearing when few other sources are available. Peak bloom aligns with March to April in its range. As a fast-growing tree, it can spread aggressively in moist soils, potentially becoming weedy, and attracts boxelder bugs that may invade structures.
