Dewberry
Rubus trivialis
In the United States:
Native
· also called dewberry, southern dewberry
Honeybees visit dewberry flowers for abundant early-season nectar and pollen, supporting colony buildup when few other blooms are available. Peak bloom occurs in March to April in its range. This trailing vine forms dense thickets that can spread aggressively in disturbed areas, requiring management to prevent overgrowth in apiary landscapes.
