Royal Palm

Honeybees primarily visit royal palm for its abundant pollen, with lesser amounts of nectar from the small, fragrant flowers on large inflorescences. Peak bloom in subtropical climates occurs in spring, providing a brief but intense foraging opportunity as bees swarm the flowering racemes. This tall, fast-growing tree thrives in moist, fertile soils and full sun, though it may require protection from strong winds and occasional pruning of dead fronds.
