Honeysuckle
Lonicera japonica
In the United States:
Invasive
· also called japanese honeysuckle
Listed as invasive. Check local regulations — several jurisdictions restrict planting.
Honeybees collect pollen from the tubular flowers; nectar is less accessible due to the long corollas. Peak bloom is late spring through early summer. Aggressively spreading where introduced, smothering native vegetation — beekeepers should prioritize removal over planting.
