Comfrey
Honeybees visit comfrey primarily for its abundant nectar and pollen, making it a valuable early-season forage plant that supports colony buildup. Peak bloom hits in late spring through early summer, with flowers providing resources from May to June and sometimes extending later. It spreads aggressively via roots and can become invasive in some regions, requiring careful site selection to manage.
