Pagoda Dogwood

Honeybees visit pagoda dogwood primarily for its abundant pollen during the late spring bloom peaking in May and June, with moderate nectar availability supporting foragers. This native understory shrub thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soils, providing a reliable early-season pollen source in woodland gardens. No major management issues for beekeepers, though it may require protection from deer browsing in some areas.
