Haskap
Lonicera caerulea
In the United States:
Native
· also called haskap, blue honeysuckle, honeyberry
Honeybees are attracted to haskap for its abundant nectar and pollen, providing essential early-season forage from April to May when few other plants are blooming. This supports spring colony buildup in northern climates. The shrub requires cross-pollination for fruit production, encouraging repeated bee visits, and is generally low-maintenance without invasive tendencies.
