Ranunculus repens

Honeybees and short-tongued pollinators visit the open yellow flowers of creeping buttercup primarily for nectar, with pollen also collected though it contains low levels of toxic ranunculin that may limit its appeal as a major resource. Blooming peaks in late spring to summer, offering extended foraging in moist, temperate habitats but typically not contributing to significant honey flows. It propagates vigorously through stolons in damp areas, necessitating management to prevent it from dominating meadow or pasture plantings.
