Lemon

Citrus limon
In the United States: Cultivated

Honeybees readily visit lemon flowers for abundant nectar that supports honey production; pollen value varies by cultivar but can be nutritionally adequate when fertile. Bloom occurs primarily in spring with possible additional flushes in favorable subtropical climates; trees are evergreen and require protection from frost.
