Ranunculus bulbosus

Honeybees primarily visit bulbous buttercup for its moderate pollen supplies, with limited nectar accessible at the petal bases mainly to short-tongued insects. Flowering peaks in late spring within a broader spring-to-early-summer window, supporting early foraging in open, grassy habitats. The species spreads readily through bulbils and can become weedy in managed landscapes, while containing irritant compounds that may limit bee preference but pose no significant toxicity risk.
