clover
Honeybees heavily forage on white clover for its abundant nectar and pollen, contributing to a significant summer honey flow. Peak bloom occurs in June and July, with flowers produced continuously from spring through fall. It spreads aggressively via stolons and can become weedy in lawns and pastures, requiring management to prevent overdominance.
