Cascara

Honeybees visit cascara primarily for its abundant nectar, which supports early spring honey flows, and to a lesser extent for pollen. Peak bloom aligns with April to May in temperate climates, lasting several weeks and drawing foragers to the small greenish-white flowers. It thrives in moist, partially shaded woodlands and can be managed by pruning to control size or form, though it may attract deer browsing in exposed sites.
