Strawberry

Fragaria x ananassa
In the United States: Cultivated · also called garden strawberry

Honeybees forage on strawberry flowers mainly for early-season pollen, with nectar rewards being minimal and insufficient for surplus honey production. Peak bloom typically hits in May to June in northern hemisphere temperate zones. As a perennial groundcover, it benefits from annual renovation to encourage vigorous blooming, though it's prone to pest issues that may reduce floral resources.
