Sage
Honeybees forage on common sage for its nectar and pollen, which supports colony nutrition during early summer when blooms peak in mild climates. The tubular flowers attract a steady stream of visitors over several weeks, potentially contributing to surplus honey in suitable conditions. Prune spent blooms to encourage compact growth and longevity, as the plant can become woody over time without maintenance.
