Soybean
Glycine max
In the United States:
Cultivated
Soybean flowers provide nectar and substantial pollen to honeybees during the summer growing season, with bees frequently foraging in large fields for these resources. The bloom occurs progressively over several weeks on indeterminate varieties, supporting bee colonies in agricultural landscapes. As an annual crop, it requires full sun, fertile soil, and adequate moisture for optimal flower production.
