Mango

Mangifera indica
In the United States: Introduced

Honeybees visit mango flowers mainly for abundant, sticky pollen, with nectar production often low unless conditions are dry. Peak bloom occurs over several weeks in late winter to early spring in subtropical climates, providing an important early forage opportunity. Management includes ensuring good air circulation to reduce fungal issues during flowering and protecting from frost, as cold can impair pollen viability.
