Coffeeberry

Honeybees forage on coffeeberry for nectar and some pollen from its small, clustered flowers during the late spring to early summer bloom period, providing a moderate resource when other early-season plants wane. Peak visitation occurs in May and June, supporting colony buildup without generating significant surplus honey. This adaptable shrub thrives in well-drained soils and requires minimal pruning to promote dense growth and repeated fruiting, though it can be browsed by deer in open areas.
